Trade account
A trade account puts your business on one of our trade price lists and lets you order against an account instead of paying in full each time. Where credit is approved, the account also carries a credit limit.
What an account gives you
- Trade pricing. Your business is placed on a trade price list, and that pricing applies to every order on the account.
- An account to order against. Orders go on the account rather than being paid for one at a time.
- A credit limit, where credit is approved. The limit is the most that can be owing on the account at any one time, stated ex GST.
How to get one
- Fill in the trade application form with your business name, ABN and contact details.
- If you'd also like credit, tick the box on the form.
- We review your application and get back to you about trade pricing.
Applying for credit
If you ticked the credit box, we then:
- email you a link to a pre-fill form,
- email you the credit application, already filled in from what you gave us, once you send the pre-fill form back.
Then every director and guarantor completes their identity details on the printed application in pen. Each guarantor signs in front of a witness, who signs as well. You email the signed copy to accounts@fenceplinths.com.au.
The credit application itself isn't on this website. We send you the link once we have your trade application.
What we assess
Once the signed application reaches us we:
- obtain a commercial credit report on the business applying,
- contact the trade referees named on the application, and
- contact the bank named on the application.
We do not obtain a consumer credit report about a director or guarantor. Credit reporting under the application is about the business only.
Terms
Terms are set on application. They are by negotiation and capacity to pay, decided case by case, and confirmed in writing when the account is opened. You can ask for a particular payment period on the application.
We do not publish a fixed payment period.
What applies meanwhile
You can order and pay at the time of the order in the usual way while an application is with us. Quantity breaks apply automatically to anyone, trade account or not, counted on the total eligible units in the order.
| Eligible units in the order | Discount |
|---|---|
| 20 or more | 5% |
| 50 or more | 10% |
| 100 or more | 15% |
Only one break applies, and it is the best one the order qualifies for. Seconds count towards the threshold and take the break too.
Trade pricing and a quantity break do not combine. You get the better of the two. Trade pricing on seconds is set per account.
