Get Your Wholesale Business Found: List Free in NZ's Supplier Directory
Being easy to find and easy to buy from go together. Here's how to make sure your wholesale business is properly listed in New Zealand's supplier directory, and how to convert the enquiries that follow.
What NZ's Supplier Directory Is
PaidTerms' NZ supplier directory organises wholesale and trade businesses by category and location, so buyers can browse suppliers the way they actually search — by what they need and where they need it from, not by brand name alone. Listings are compiled from publicly available business information rather than requiring sign-up, so many wholesale businesses are already listed without having done anything themselves.
Categories span the full range of NZ wholesale trade, from building and construction material suppliers and plumbing and bathroom suppliers, to food and beverage suppliers and dozens more.
Check Whether Your Business Is Already Listed
The fastest first step is to search your own business name and category in the directory. If a listing already exists but the details are out of date, it can be corrected. If no listing exists yet, or an existing one needs claiming, that's handled the same way. See how to claim, correct or add a listing for the process — appearing in the directory carries no cost or obligation, and claiming it doesn't sign your business up to anything beyond an accurate listing.
Why an Accurate Listing Matters
An out-of-date or missing listing means a buyer browsing your category may never find you, or may find incorrect contact details and move on to the next supplier on the page. Given that buyers often browse by category rather than searching for a specific name, an accurate, complete listing is a low-effort way to be found by exactly the buyers already looking for what you sell.
Converting the Enquiry Once You're Found
Being found is only half the job — the next question a buyer usually asks is about payment terms. Pairing a visible, accurate directory listing with the ability to offer flexible payment (without funding it yourself) closes that loop. See how PaidTerms helps NZ wholesalers get paid faster for how that works in practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does listing my business in the directory cost anything?
No. Appearing in the directory carries no cost or obligation, and claiming or correcting a listing doesn't sign your business up to anything else.
How do I know if my business is already listed?
Search your business name or browse your category in the directory. Many businesses are already listed from publicly available information, even without having signed up.
What if my listing has the wrong details?
You can request a correction through the directory's listing help process, the same way you would claim an unclaimed listing.
Does claiming my listing sign me up to PaidTerms?
No. A directory listing and a PaidTerms account are separate — claiming or correcting a listing is simply about being accurately represented.
Which category should my business be listed under?
Whichever category best matches your primary product line. If you're unsure, the listing help process can help place it correctly.
