Abstract
The aim of the paper was to present what influence on the profitability of commercial companies has their functioning in branch purchasing groups. In the article the definitions and the essence of purchasing groups were presented. Their division was made and there were featured the benefits of traders operating in branch purchasing groups. The article presents the role and function of the central unit appointed by the companies in the purchasing group. There were also presented barriers faced by companies that want to join purchasing groups. The next parts of the article concern the key issues related to profitability. There were identified key indicators for measuring the intensity of profitability. There were also discussed their structures and determinants of the rate of return of revenue from sales of assets and equity. Then on the example of commercial companies operating in the branch purchasing group it was shown what facilities commercial companies operating in the industry purchasing group receive. The main benefits that companies gain are primarily a low purchase price of goods and attractive period for trade credit. Both of these elements plus the economies of scale allow traders operating in the branch purchasing group, to a large extent, reduce costs and increase operating revenues. Increased sales and optimization of cost levels as a result of joint action have a positive effect on the profitability of the company.
