ESTABLISHING A WHOLESALE ACCOUNT WITH BSG HANDCRAFT

We welcome new customers and will work with you as you enter our trade, expand your product selection, or source new ingredients. Please read our Initial Approval Criteria and our Complete Terms & Policies carefully for anything that applies to your business or business plan. We do not approve all inquires, so we strongly recommend that you get location and account approval before signing leases or purchasing a place of business.

1. Is a Wholesale Account Right for You?

BSG HandCraft is a wholesale distributor, and does not sell directly to home brewers and winemakers, home-based businesses, or brewing clubs. If you are not looking to establish a wholesale account for your business, visit our Store Locator to find a retailer near you.

Businesses that already have accounts with other BSG divisions do not need to apply for customer accounts. You may place an order with our Customer Service Department, or request login credentials for the BSG HandCraft website.

If your business currently has an account with BSG HandCraft but is moving or expanding to a new location, you do need to re-apply for your wholesale account. Multiple location accounts fall under the same criteria as single location accounts. And BSG Handcraft reserves the right to decline sales to one or multiple locations of a single account if they do not meet our criteria.

If you are not a current customer of BSG and would like to open a home fermentation supply store, carry BSG HandCraft products in an existing store, or source equipment or ingredients for your business, you need to apply for a wholesale account.

2. Do You Meet the Initial Approval Criteria?

BSG HandCraft has some requirements for new accounts. Please make sure your business is prepared to meet all the following Initial Approval Criteria.

• You must have a commercially-zoned building. BSG HandCraft does not sell to individuals, clubs, or home-based businesses. We are interested in businesses that can properly represent our line of products to sell in a retail environment.
• You must provide your Federal Tax ID notice, billing address, and either your established shipping address(es) or the general area of your planned retail location(s). You must also provide a state Sales & Use Tax certificate(s), if required by any state in which your business operates.
