Allite Trading Services
The second half of the business: buying and selling stock, running it through established e-commerce channels, and taking the administrative and coordination work off other small businesses.
Buying and selling, done by people who handle the stock themselves
Trading is the older half of Allite Enterprises. We buy stock — clearance lines, overstock, returns pallets, end-of-range goods — and we sell it on, either through our own e-commerce channels or into the trade.
Because we handle, grade and photograph everything ourselves, we can price a lot honestly on the first call rather than after three rounds of "it wasn't quite as described". Sellers get a straight answer; buyers get stock that matches its listing.
Alongside that, we take on the operational and administrative work that small businesses run out of hours for. It's a deliberately wide brief, and it's usually the thing that unblocks a week.

This list reflects how the division works today. As the trading side grows the mix will change — tell us what you need and we'll say plainly whether it's something we do.
How a trading enquiry works
Four steps, and you'll know where you stand after the second.
- 1
Tell us what you have
Category, rough quantity, condition and a few photos.
- 2
We value it
An honest offer, usually within one working day.
- 3
Collection
We arrange collection or delivery and confirm the terms in writing.
- 4
Payment
Paid on collection by bank transfer. No staged payments, no chasing.
Why seller accounts matter more than listings
Anyone can list an item on eBay or Amazon. What decides whether it sells — and at what price — is the account behind the listing: feedback volume, dispatch speed, defect rate and how long it has been trading.
Our accounts have that history, which means stock moves faster and holds its price better than the same item listed from a cold account. For a seller sitting on inventory, that difference is usually worth more than the last few percent on the purchase price.
It also means we take the parts nobody enjoys: photography, listing copy, questions from buyers, packing, dispatch and returns.
Trading questions
Can't see yours? Ring us — we'd rather answer it before you book than after.
What kind of stock do you buy?
Clearance lines, overstock, customer returns, end-of-range and bankrupt stock across general consumer categories. We buy by the pallet or by the lot, we pay quickly, and we collect ourselves across the UK.
Do you sell on eBay and Amazon?
Yes. We run established seller accounts on both, with the feedback history and dispatch record those platforms reward. That matters more than most people realise: a new account listing the same item sells it slower and cheaper.
Can you sell stock on my behalf?
In some cases. We look at the category, the volume and the condition, then propose either an outright purchase or a consignment arrangement. Outright is simpler and faster for most sellers.
What does business support actually mean?
The operational work that piles up when a small business grows: data entry, invoicing, document handling, supplier chasing, order tracking, scheduling and coordination between people who aren't talking to each other. It's deliberately broad, because the requests always are.
Is this the same company as the cleaning side?
Yes — one registered company, Allite Enterprises Ltd (no. 08424485), running two divisions from the same registered company. Separate teams, separate diaries, same accountability.
