Why is it so difficult to create an account with them?
They always refuse.
Any suggestions?
Who are they?
Essendant is known for being strict with account approvals, as they primarily work with established resellers, wholesalers, and businesses with a strong track record in distribution. They often require a valid business license, resale certificate, and proof of industry experience before granting access. If they keep refusing your application, it may help to refine your business credentials, ensure your documentation is in order, and clearly present your case as a legitimate reseller. Some sellers also find success by establishing relationships with sales representatives or applying through a well-structured business entity like an LLC rather than as a sole trader.
