Do I need a credit account to buy from Euro Biom?

No. Trade accounts open with proforma payment terms by default. After three successful orders and a credit reference check we offer NET 30 or NET 60 payment terms depending on order value, history and credit profile. You can keep the trade account on proforma indefinitely if that suits your treasury.

How long does trade account verification take?

Once we have your full KYC pack, verification typically completes within 3 to 5 working days. We confirm the regulatory authority status of your importer licence directly with the issuing authority where possible. Account activation triggers an introduction with your dedicated account manager.

Who qualifies for a Euro Biom trade account?

Licensed pharmaceutical importers and wholesalers, hospital pharmacies, NGOs, government health departments, ministry-owned procurement agencies, and licensed distributors. We do not open trade accounts for individual consumers, retail pharmacies without wholesale licences, or unlicensed buyers in any jurisdiction.

Can I reserve specific batches or stock for recurring orders?

Yes. Trade account holders can reserve batches against forecast quarterly demand, agree fixed-price periods on volume-committed lines and pre-book cold chain capacity for biologics. Batch reservation is particularly useful for hospital pharmacies running consistent therapy programmes.

What Is a Trade Account

Built for buyers
who order regularly.

A pharmaceutical trade account is a verified B2B buyer status that streamlines repeat ordering. Instead of full KYC and quote rounds on every requirement, your verification sits on file and your account manager turns enquiries into quotes the same working day.

Trade account holders get priority on quote turnaround, batch and allocation reservations against quarterly forecasts, recurring-supply contracts at agreed pricing, and NET payment terms after a credit check. The account replaces the friction of one-off transactions with a single relationship that scales as your demand grows.

For hospital pharmacies, NGOs and licensed importers running consistent demand, a trade account is the difference between transactional sourcing and a managed supply line. We treat trade accounts as long-term partnerships, not order-to-order vending.

Recurring Supply Priority Quotes NET Payment Terms Account Manager

"Trade accounts replace transactional friction with a managed supply line. One verified buyer, one account manager, recurring quotes turned around the same day."

Trade Account Benefits

What changes when
you go on a trade account.

Trade accounts unlock benefits that one-off buyers do not see. The list below is what becomes available the moment your account is activated.

Priority Quote Turnaround

Trade account enquiries are routed straight to your account manager and prioritised over one-off requests. Same-day acknowledgement, full quote within 24 hours where availability is confirmed, and faster turnaround on multi-line orders that would otherwise take a quote round.

Dedicated Account Manager

A single named contact for everything: quotes, order tracking, documentation queries, shortage alerts and forecasting. Your account manager keeps your recurring product list on watch, flags price or availability shifts proactively and briefs you on shortage-impacted lines before they hurt.

Batch & Allocation Reservation

Reserve specific batches and quantities against forecast quarterly demand. Particularly valuable for cold-chain biologics, oncology drugs and any line where allocation matters. Pre-book stock so the next order is fulfilled instantly when you release it.

Recurring Supply Contracts

Lock in agreed prices, lead times and delivery schedules over a defined period. Recurring contracts replace ad-hoc spot pricing with predictable supply economics, useful for hospital pharmacies running long-running therapy programmes and NGOs operating against a budget.

NET Payment Terms

After three successful orders and a credit reference check, NET 30 or NET 60 payment terms become available depending on order value and history. Trade accounts can stay on proforma indefinitely if that suits your treasury, NET is an option not a requirement.

GDP-Compliant Logistics

Every shipment leaves under GDP cover with batch CoA, transport temperature records where applicable, and full export documentation for international trade accounts. Cold-chain capacity is pre-booked against the same forecast that reserves your batches.
