About Our Service

 What is an Exclusive Distributorship Agreement?   

An exclusive distributorship agreement is a legal contract in which a manufacturer or supplier appoints one distributor as the sole authorized seller of its products in a specific territory or market. This means the manufacturer cannot appoint any other distributor or sell directly in that area.This agreement clearly defines the rights, responsibilities, pricing terms, supply conditions, and performance expectations between the manufacturer and the distributor. It protects both parties by ensuring that the distributor gets exclusive sales rights while the manufacturer receives committed sales efforts and market expansion.Businesses use exclusive distributorship agreements to avoid market conflicts, prevent competition between multiple distributors, and ensure that the distribution channel operates smoothly and legally. This helps build long-term business relationships and ensures consistent product availability in the assigned region.

    I had a very complicated LLP striking off requirement. It took a long time due to Government (MCA) delays. Through out the period EbizFiling continued to support me and successfully completed the assignment. Truly stellar service, and I particularly want to thank Aman for his support. Will continue to do business with them.
