A Franchised Distributor has formal agreements with component manufacturers to buy and sell specific product lines at set prices with agreed upon lead times. Deliveries must be made on specific dates and, sometimes, within limited geographic regions. Franchised Distributors generally carry more products in stock, but have a limited number of manufacturers and product lines.
