distributorship
Licensed selling operation
A distributorship is the right or business arrangement to sell a company's products within a particular territory.
The term refers both to the agreement itself and to the business entity that holds it: She bought a beer distributorship in Texas.
Unlike franchises, distributorships typically involve reselling products rather than operating under the parent company's brand.
