How Much Do Food Brokers Charge? & What Percentage Do Food Brokers Make?
… Food brokers typically charge a monthly retainer fee or a percentage of the sales they help you to achieve.
The higher of the two values is usually the investment your business will make.
As a rule of thumb, Dynamic Retail Solutions charge $5000 per month or 5% for branded product and less for private label. The reason is that there are fewer margins in Private Label.
Let’s do some numbers …
To hire a National Account Manager internally at your business, you will be looking at a cost of approximately $100k – $150k per annum (for a half decent one).
But with this arrangement, you’re only getting one person to manage everything for you & no one person will know how to manage local retailers, export opportunities, all on their own.
