For the trade

Trade accounts

If you buy paint and consumables for a living, a trade account gets you the right price without asking for it every time.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Apply

    Tell us about your business and how you trade. It takes a couple of minutes.

  2. Step 2

    We review it

    We check the details and set you up on the right pricelist. This is an application, not an instant sign-up.

  3. Step 3

    Trade pricing goes live

    Once approved, your pricing applies automatically when you're signed in — online and at the counter.

Who qualifies

Trade accounts are for businesses buying for their own work — bodyshops, garages, MOT centres, fleet workshops, restorers, plant and agricultural operators, and mobile technicians.

We’ll usually ask for your business name, address and VAT number where you have one. If you’re a sole trader without a VAT registration, that’s fine — tell us how you trade and we’ll take it from there.
