Setting up an office furniture dealership in the UAE takes one online application and about one business day to review. You submit your company details, TreeJar Trading verifies them, a dedicated account manager is assigned, and you receive a login to the dealer portal with wholesale pricing and live stock. Here is the exact process and what you get.
Key takeaways
- The application is online and asks for four required fields: company name, contact name, email, and phone. Everything else is optional but speeds up verification.
- Review takes one business day. After approval an account manager is assigned and you get a dealer-portal login.
- Approved dealers see wholesale pricing, real-time stock per product, and an extra 1% discount for ordering online through the portal.
- You choose your commercial terms up front — business type, monthly volume band, and payment terms from Prepayment through Net 60.
- Products span two ranges: SKYLAND (premium) and BelGro (best-price), across chairs, desks, workstations, storage and smart furniture.
How do you become an office furniture dealer in the UAE?
There are four steps, and only the first one needs anything from you:
- Fill the application. Complete the dealer form with your company and contact details. Apply for dealership — it takes a few minutes.
- We review your data. Our team verifies your information within one business day.
- A personal manager is assigned. Every approved dealer gets a dedicated account manager as the single point of contact for quotes, orders and escalations.
- You access the dealer portal. You receive a login to the portal, where dealer pricing and ordering become active.
There is no separate contract to chase before you can see prices — approval unlocks the portal directly.
What do you need to apply?
The form separates what is mandatory from what simply helps us set your account up correctly. Only four fields are required.
| Section | Field | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Company | Company Name | Yes |
| Company | Trade Licence | Optional |
| Company | Business Type | Optional |
| Company | Emirate | Optional |
| Company | Address | Optional |
| Company | VAT / TRN Number | Optional |
| Company | Website | Optional |
| Contact | Full Name | Yes |
| Contact | Yes | |
| Contact | Phone | Yes |
| Contact | Optional | |
| Business | Monthly Volume | Optional |
| Business | Payment Terms | Optional |
| Business | Product Categories of Interest | Optional |
Practical advice: fill the optional company fields anyway. A trade licence and TRN let us verify a UAE business faster, and stating your emirate, monthly volume and payment preference means your account manager can set correct terms before your first order instead of going back and forth.
Who applies
The form recognises the main buyer profiles operating in the UAE market, so you are not forced into a generic "reseller" box:
- Office Furniture Dealer
- Interior Design Company
- Fit-out Contractor
- Corporate Buyer
- Government
- Other
If you are an interior or fit-out firm buying for projects rather than reselling, the same account still gives you wholesale pricing and project-quantity stock visibility.
How does dealer pricing and ordering work?
Once approved, pricing on the portal switches to your dealer rate — you no longer see retail prices. Ordering through the portal instead of by phone or email carries an additional 1% online-order discount, so the self-service route is also the cheapest one.
Three things make the portal practical for a business that resells or specifies furniture:
- Real-time stock. Every product shows live availability, so you can commit to a client before you buy, not after.
- Pre-order for out-of-stock items. If something is sold out, you submit a pre-order and your manager confirms price and delivery date rather than leaving you guessing.
- Order records. Each order produces a downloadable Sales Order PDF you can file or forward to your own client.
You set your commercial rhythm at application time. Monthly volume is declared in bands — under 10 units, 10–50, 50–100, 100–500, or 500+ — and payment terms range from Prepayment to Net 15, 30, 45 or 60. These are the starting point your account manager works from.
Choosing your payment terms
Payment terms decide your working capital more than almost anything else in the relationship, so it is worth choosing deliberately rather than defaulting to Prepayment:
- Prepayment — the simplest to get approved and usually the fastest to release stock. Sensible for a new account or a one-off project buy.
- Net 15 / Net 30 — you receive the goods and settle within 15 or 30 days. This is the common working rhythm for a dealer turning stock every month.
- Net 45 / Net 60 — the longest runway, useful when your own clients pay you on extended terms and you need the gap covered.
Declare the term that matches how your customers actually pay you, not the longest one available. Terms are agreed with your account manager against your stated volume, so a realistic pairing of volume band and payment term gets approved and stays stable.
What happens after your first order?
The relationship is built around a single named contact rather than a shared inbox. Your account manager handles quotes, order confirmations and any escalation, and for strategic accounts or anything outside their scope there is a direct line to the commercial director. That structure keeps a growing account from stalling on a slow reply.
Day to day, the portal carries the workload:
- Reorders are self-service. Repeat a previous order from your history rather than rebuilding the cart, and bank the 1% online-order discount each time.
- Stock is visible before you commit. Because availability is live per product, you can confirm to your own client first and order second.
- Out-of-stock is handled, not ignored. A pre-order routes to your manager, who confirms price and delivery date, so a sold-out line does not cost you the deal.
- Every order leaves a paper trail. The downloadable Sales Order PDF is ready to file or forward to your client, and order-status updates surface in the portal.
What products can you sell as a dealer?
Treejar carries two ranges so you can quote both ends of a client's budget from one account:
- SKYLAND — the premium range.
- BelGro — the best-price range.
Across those, the catalogue covers office chairs, workstations, desks, storage and smart furniture. Chairs carry a 2-year warranty and all other products a 5-year warranty, which is a straightforward selling point when you are the one standing behind the sale to your client.
The categories you can flag on the application — Office Chairs, Office Furniture, Smart Furniture, Home Furniture, Metal Frames and Homeware — help your manager prioritise stock and pricing for what you actually move.
Which range to lead with
Carrying both ranges lets you answer two very different client briefs from one account. Lead with SKYLAND when the client is specifying on quality — an executive office, a headquarters fit-out, a corporate buyer who cares about finish and longevity. Lead with BelGro when the brief is price-driven — a startup kitting out its first office, a high-quantity order where the per-desk cost decides the deal, or a project where budget is the fixed constraint.
Because both ranges carry the same warranty structure — two years on chairs, five on everything else — you can trade a client up or down on price without changing the after-sales promise you make. That single, consistent warranty line is often what closes a hesitant buyer.
The UAE picture: coverage and terms
Treejar Trading supplies the wider Gulf, not only Dubai: the markets served are the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar. For a dealer that means you can service clients across the GCC through one supplier relationship rather than sourcing separately per country.
Two local details matter when you plan the relationship. First, the portal is bilingual — English and Arabic — so an Arabic-first team can operate it natively. Second, because verification runs in one business day, you can realistically go from application to live dealer pricing within the same week, which is faster than the multi-week onboarding many manufacturers impose.
From the field: how the strongest dealer accounts start
The dealer accounts that run smoothly tend to do the same three things at the start. They complete the optional fields, so the account manager sets correct payment terms on day one. They declare a realistic monthly volume band rather than the largest one, which keeps stock conversations grounded. And they order through the portal to bank the 1% online discount and keep a clean Sales Order trail for their own bookkeeping.

Dealer application checklist
Before you open the form, have this ready:
- Company name and, if available, trade licence and TRN
- Contact person: full name, email, phone (WhatsApp optional)
- Your emirate and address
- Rough monthly volume band
- Preferred payment terms
- The product categories you plan to sell
With those in hand the application takes minutes, and review is one business day.
FAQ
How long does dealer approval take in the UAE? Review takes about one business day. Our team verifies the information on your application, then a dedicated account manager is assigned and you receive your dealer-portal login. Dealer pricing and ordering become active as soon as the account is approved.
What do I need to apply for a furniture dealership? Only four fields are mandatory: company name, contact full name, email and phone. Optional fields — trade licence, TRN, emirate, address, monthly volume and payment terms — are worth completing because they let your account manager set correct commercial terms before your first order.
Do I have to resell to qualify as a dealer? No. The account also suits interior design companies, fit-out contractors, corporate buyers and government buyers purchasing for their own projects. You still get wholesale pricing and real-time stock visibility for project quantities, not only for resale — many dealer accounts are project buyers rather than pure resellers.
What extra benefits do approved dealers get? Dealers get wholesale pricing, a dedicated account manager with priority support, real-time stock on every product, a pre-order flow for out-of-stock items, downloadable Sales Order PDFs, and a further 1% discount for ordering through the portal instead of offline.
Which brands and warranties are available to dealers? You can sell two ranges — SKYLAND (premium) and BelGro (best-price) — across chairs, desks, workstations, storage and smart furniture. Chairs come with a 2-year warranty and all other products with a 5-year warranty, which you can pass on directly to your customers.
