Instant Credit
New customers can start trading immediately with Midwich and obtain up to £5,000 instant credit on satisfactory completion of our simple Credit Account application process.

All we need is your fully completed credit application form, three relevant trade references and a copy of your official letterhead. We're happy that you fax them to our credit team initially and post the originals as soon as you can. So long as no adverse information is discovered during our routine credit check, our credit team will contact you with your account number and opening credit limit. It couldn't be easier!

In the early days you'll benefit from working with our Fast Response team who, as the name suggests, will handle your enquiries quickly and efficiently. As your business levels grow and your needs expand we can offer an experienced Account Manager to ensure that your specific business needs are met.

End user billing and cash collection
Without compromising our trade only policy we can bill your customer direct, paying your agreed margin to you on collection.

This can be an ideal solution to large deals that may impact on your cash flow or credit facility. This way you can continue to trade by keeping your credit account free for day-to-day business and leave cash collection to our credit team. We will make our normal discrete credit checks on end users. For more details please contact our credit team.

Vendor accreditation programmes
There are many and varied benefits to be achieved through the accreditation schemes operated by manufacturers. They include the involvement in your business by the vendor, sales leads, exclusive incentives, promotions and much more. At Midwich we give our own active support to accredited resellers keeping you in touch with latest product, pricing, availability and promotional news from your preferred manufacturer.

Vendor introductions
Whenever you need that vital help in winning the deal, our strong relationships with manufacturers can secure direct support just at the right moment.

Their industry and market knowledge of the benefits of their own strategies and products compared to the competition can be invaluable. Combined with Midwich's competitive pricing, bid support, supply-chain logistics and range of services, your proposal will stand out from the rest. Call your sales contact to arrange for an introduction to the people that can make a difference to your business.
