German term or phrase: an einer Distribution interessiert sind
Hello.
I have a text about new treatments for a hearing disorder and it has this sentence "wenn Sie an einer Distribution interessiert sind, kontaktieren Sie uns bei...".

Is "Distribution" a specific expression aimed at professionals for them to provide a specific treatment to patients, or could this be directed at the patients themselves?

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Explanation:
See Discussion Box

Definition: A franchisee is an individual who purchases the rights to use a company’s trademarked name and business model to do business. The franchisee purchases a franchise from the franchisor. The franchisee must follow certain rules and guidelines already established by the franchisor, and in most cases the franchisee must pay an ongoing franchise royalty fee to the franchisor.
