Establishing Credit

Become a Tech Data Reseller

To open an account and/or apply for credit, just complete and return the forms below. Tech Data's New-Account Representatives work quickly to approve your application.

The application process involves completing an online Reseller Credit Application form. Typically, the application will take about 20 minutes to complete. Please take a moment to review the Compliance Letter and Conditions of Sale. These documents contain important information concerning your new account.

* If you were provided a Welcome Code, please be sure to include it in the Reseller Application.


Once you have completed the application sign the documents electronically. Once the application is submitted it will automatically be sent to our new accounts department. Please verify that all forms have been filled out completely and signed, prior to submitting. All signatures/initials must be those of a listed Principle. We are unable to accept the application if someone other than the Principle has signed it.
Important! Tax documents require handwritten signatures and should be uploaded in the application portal or sent separately to our new accounts department via fax at 727-538-7802 or via email at newaccounts@techdata.com.

A personal guaranty from one or more reseller owners/officers may potentially help in obtaining additional credit to support business growth. A personal guaranty form can be found at www.techdata.com/personalguaranty.

After the reseller application is processed, you will receive an e-mail containing your account number, sales team phone number, and an expanded list of Tech Data's service offerings. Once you have received your Tech Data account number, be sure to apply for an Electronic Commerce ID since some areas of our site cannot be accessed without it. This will provide you full access to our online product catalog and the convenience of placing orders online.
