Apply for a trade account

For glaziers, installers and shopfitters who order regularly. Free to apply, no minimum spend, and a person reads every application.

Start with your account

A trade account is approved on top of an ordinary account. Sign in, or make one in one tap, and the application is tied to it.

If you continue with Google, we receive only your name and email address from them, and use them only to sign you in and keep your orders together. We never post anything to your account. Privacy notice

Or sign in with your email.

Your details

Five things, about two minutes.

About 10 minutes

Have to hand: your trading name and address, a contact email and phone number, the names of the owner, partners or directors (a home address too for a sole trader or partners), and two trade references.

Save and finish later, at the end of the form, emails you a link back to your answers. The documents can follow later too.

1.Your business

Type of business

The name you trade under, as it should appear on invoices.

For example glazing, shopfitting, building, kitchens.

2.VAT

Your VAT number goes on every invoice we send you.

Is the business VAT registered?

3.Contacts and people

Main contact

For example director or buyer.

The decision comes here, and this is the address the trade account sits on.

Accounts contact (if different)

Directors

4.Account and invoicing

A trade account is about pricing. If you would like to pay on account too, tell us what you need; credit is decided separately.

Leave blank if you will pay as you order. The limit covers what you owe on account, VAT included.

The bank only, for the credit check. We never ask for account numbers here.

Do your orders need a purchase order number?

Often an accounts mailbox.

Delivery addresses (optional)

5.Trade references

Two merchants or suppliers you already hold an account with. We ring or email them, nothing more.

Reference 1

Reference 2

6.Add documents (optional now - you can send them later)

A trade account is credit, so before we open it we need to know who and where you are. You can send the application without them: we will email you a private link to add them later, with nothing to sign in to. Everything here is held against your application and is never published.

Free to apply, no minimum spend, and no obligation to order. We use these details and documents to check the account and nothing else, see our privacy notice.
