What do I need?

To ensure a smooth sign-up process to Sellar Credit, please check that you meet the following requirements:

  • A Company Director must complete the sign-up. They must have an account on Sellar to carry out the sign up process. Learn how to invite them.

  • Valid physical identification is required. This must be an in-date driver's license or passport—copies are not accepted.

  • A device with a camera is necessary. You'll need a webcam or smartphone camera to complete the identification verification process.

What if......

I'm a Group

You can still apply to Sellar Credit! but we will need to help you out. If you have more than one venue or limited company for example, your sign up will look a little different.

Depending on how your Group is setup we can help you through setting up Sellar Credit. Book at Meeting with Bec our Buyer Success Manager here to get you started.

I'm a Sole Trader

You can still apply to Sellar Credit! but we will ask you slightly different questions.

You will additionally need to provide details on where you operate business and who you are for the sign up. However:

  • You will need all the the exact things to sign up as before

  • You won't be able to pre-check your Credit Limit as a Sole Trader before signing up.

Now I've got everything prepared how to do I get started and get closer to getting my Credit Limit?
