Open a trade account

A trade account lets your firm buy on credit rather than paying by card each time — one monthly statement, invoices your accounts team can work from, and a credit limit agreed with you.

How to apply

Download the application form, fill it in, and email it back to us. It asks for your company details, two trade references and a signed declaration.

Return the completed form to sales@subbiestore.co.uk. Applications are handled by Subbie Sync Ltd.

The terms available

Which of these we can offer depends on the credit check and on how much you expect to spend. We agree it with you rather than imposing it.

7 days
Payment due 7 days from the invoice.
14 days
Payment due 14 days from the invoice.
30 days
Payment due 30 days from the invoice.

If we cannot offer credit, we can still open the account on a pro forma basis: everything else works the same way and orders are paid for before they are dispatched.

What an account gives you

  • Buy now and pay on terms, rather than card payment at checkout.
  • One place to see every invoice, what is outstanding and what is overdue, plus a statement for any period you choose.
  • Orders placed by anyone on the account are visible to everyone on it — the person who buys is rarely the person who pays.
  • A purchase order reference on your invoices, if your firm needs one.

What happens next

  1. We acknowledge the application and check the details you have given us.
  2. We run a credit check and decide the terms and the limit we can offer. This is where most of the time goes.
  3. We come back to you either way. A firm we cannot offer credit to can still hold an account and pay before dispatch — being turned down for credit is not being turned away.
  4. Once the account is open, ask us to add the email addresses of whoever needs to see it, and those people will find it under their account on this site.

Buying as a one-off, or not ready to apply? Create an ordinary account and pay by card — you can apply for credit terms later.

We use a few cookies to run the shop — your basket, your VAT preference and the checkout. We would also like to count page views so we can see what is worth fixing. That part is up to you.
