Based on activity on Axial’s M&A platform, the core revenue range for Trading Companies & Distributors Corporations is $3M-$12M, with a core EBITDA range of $500K-$2M. Company size can be an important indicator of fit, as firms often concentrate their experience, resources, and transaction activity within particular segments of the market.
