Become a BDI Partner

BDI works with qualified home furnishings and consumer electronics retailers, interior designers, custom integrators, specifiers, and other businesses in related channels. The appropriate path depends on the company’s primary business model and how it plans to work with BDI.

The Trade Program is geared toward design professionals who specify and source furniture for client projects. Retail partnerships are intended for qualified businesses seeking a direct account to carry and sell BDI products. Both require an application and approval.

Start with the program that best matches your primary business activity. Design professionals and specifiers should review the Trade Program, while home furnishings or consumer electronics retailers should review the Retail Partner application. Businesses operating across both channels can contact BDI for guidance.

Both applications request business and contact information, billing and shipping details, and supporting tax or resale documentation. Specific requirements depend on the application and the state in which the business operates.

No. BDI reviews each application individually and determines eligibility based on the business model, required documentation, and applicable program requirements.

Visit BDI’s Become a Partner page and select either Retailers or Design Trade. The website will direct you to the appropriate application and provide program details.
