We will examine the functions of retailers, the factors that influence the establishment of retail businesses, and the evolving trends in retailing such as branding, self-service, and innovative concepts like vending machines and fuel vouchers. By understanding the advantages and disadvantages of retailers, we can appreciate their significance in the market.
On the wholesale trade front, we will differentiate between merchant wholesalers, agent wholesalers, and general wholesalers. Exploring the functions of wholesalers will shed light on their pivotal role in facilitating large-scale transactions. By evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of wholesalers, we can grasp the dynamics of intermediary trade.
Transitioning to Foreign Trade, we will analyze fundamental issues like the balance of trade, balance of payments, and the concept of counter trade. Understanding the procedures and documentation involved in export, import, and entrepôt trade will provide insights into the intricacies of international commerce. We will also explore the barriers that impede international trade, ranging from tariff barriers to non-tariff barriers.
Furthermore, we will delve into the role of government agencies such as Customs and Excise Authority and Ports Authority in regulating and facilitating foreign trade activities.

In the context of trade and commerce, a wholesaler who acts on behalf of the owner of goods in buying or selling, and receives a commission based on the value of the transaction, is typically referred to as a factor.
Here's why:
A factor is a type of agent who is enthusiastically involved in the buying and selling process of goods. This role often involves taking possession of the merchandise, managing the sales, and sometimes providing advance payment to the owner. For these efforts, the factor earns a commission proportionate to the transaction value.
Factors differ from some other types of agents in that they often have more responsibilities, including the power to sell goods in their own name, collect proceeds from buyers, and handle various logistical aspects of the sale.
In contrast:
- A commissioned agent might not necessarily take possession of the goods or manage the detailed logistical aspects of sales.
- A del-credere agent provides a guarantee to the principal that the buyer will perform as agreed, essentially assuming responsibility for any buyer defaults, but this does not inherently describe their primary role in the wholesale process.
- A speculator doesn't fulfill an agency role for the owner of goods but rather buys goods directly to sell at a profit, often taking on significant risk in the hope of financial gain.
Therefore, in the scenario you provided, the term most accurately describing the wholesaler's role as an agent working for a commission based on the transaction value is a factor.
