Credit applications
Commercial credit applications, by trade.
Every trade asks for the same core, then a few things of its own. Pick yours to see what goes on the form and how to take it online.
- Lumber yard credit applicationBuilders and remodelers open accounts with a lumber yard before the first delivery, and the application is often a PDF they print, sign and bring back to the counter.
- Electrical supply credit applicationElectrical contractors often buy from more than one distributor, so the house that opens their account first tends to get the order.
- Plumbing supply credit applicationPlumbing contractors usually set up an account at the supply house nearest their work, and they want to pick up on terms the same week.
- HVAC supply credit applicationHVAC dealers and mechanical contractors open accounts for equipment, parts and refrigerant, and peak season is when they need terms fastest.
- Roofing supply credit applicationRoofing contractors often need material on the roof within days of signing a job, so a slow credit application can cost the supplier the order.
- Drywall supply credit applicationDrywall and acoustical contractors buy by the job, and suppliers often stock material floor by floor, so the account and the job details need to be right before the first delivery.
- Steel supply credit applicationFabricators and contractors buying steel often ask for larger lines than other trades, so suppliers want a complete file before they extend terms.
- Concrete and masonry supply credit applicationConcrete and masonry contractors schedule pours and deliveries around the weather, so their account needs to be ready before the truck is booked.
- Landscape supply credit applicationLandscapers and irrigation contractors open accounts in a hurry at the start of the season, often from a truck rather than an office.
- Industrial supply credit applicationPlants and maintenance teams buy MRO supplies on purchase orders, and their accounts payable team usually fills in the credit application.
