Access to wholesale stock and per-grade pricing is granted per business, after a person has checked the paperwork. Below is exactly what we ask for, how the review runs, and what unlocks when you are approved.

The process

Five steps, one account

01Create your loginEmail and password, or Google sign-in. We capture your company name, contact details, country and rough monthly volume at the same time so nothing is asked twice.
02Complete the trade applicationLegal entity name, company and VAT number, billing and shipping address, business type and years trading. You can save it and come back — it stays editable until you submit.
03Upload verification documentsBusiness registration or trade licence, VAT certificate where applicable, proof of business address and photo ID for the signing contact. Files are stored in private storage, not on the public site.
04Manual reviewA person reviews the application. If something is missing we send it back with the reason stated, and you resubmit the same application rather than starting again.
05Approved — orderApproval attaches a trade role to your login. The catalogue, per-grade pricing, quotes, cart and order history unlock on the same account you applied with.

What we ask for

Have this to hand

Nothing here is optional theatre — each field is used for invoicing, cross-border paperwork or knowing who we are trading with. Documents are uploaded to private storage and are visible only to reviewers.

Registered business: A company, sole trader or licensed trading entity. We do not open consumer accounts.
Legal entity name: Exactly as registered, plus any trading name you invoice under.
Company number: Registration or trade licence number for your jurisdiction.
VAT / tax number: Where your jurisdiction issues one. Used for invoicing and cross-border paperwork.
Billing address: The registered address on your paperwork. Shipping address may differ.
Signing contact: Name, direct phone and business email of the person responsible for the account.

After approval

Tiered unit pricing by volume band, visible before you commit to a quantity.

Quotes

Build a request across multiple lines and get it priced back with a validity date.

Place orders, upload payment references, and track status through to delivery.

Multi-currency

Quote and order in GBP, EUR, USD or AED at the stored rate.

Questions

Before you apply

How long does approval take?: Applications are reviewed manually during trading hours. If documents are complete there is usually nothing further to send us.
Can I see prices before approval?: No. Wholesale pricing and stock are only visible to approved trade accounts, which is why the application exists.
What happens if I am rejected?: You are told the reason on your application page. You can correct the details or documents and resubmit the same application.
Do you open consumer accounts?: No. Device Exchange is trade only — single-unit consumer sales are not part of the business.
Can more than one person use the account?: Each person signs in with their own login. Ask the desk to link an additional contact to an approved company.
