Business information for B2B transactions

Hi I have a question about purchasing product from a company. I've found a local company I'd like to purchase some light bulk from but they've asked me for my business info. I don't have a registered business name or anything like that yet since I've only been dropshipping/selling the odd thing here and there to get into the eCommerce business and I fully operate from home. What info should I provide? Basic name, address my phone number ect? Or are they more looking for GST number? I'm located in Canada BC if anyone has some input that'd be greatly appreciated.


Cheers

Hi Paul and welcome to the forum,

Since you are buying in light bulk, that is going to be considered a wholesale deal, not drop-sopping of course. With wholesale, no matter if it's small or large volume, they are usually going to want you to prove that you are in fact a registered business before allowing you an account.

Of course you can check with them directly in regards to what info they want, but I've never seen a wholesale supplier sell to any unregistered business before, at least not at a true wholesale price. So my guess is that you'll have to take that next step of registering as a business if you want to move into the wholesale marketplace to trade.

Cheers
