Partnership
Become a Smartmoon distributor
We are appointing distributors across Nigeria. Trade pricing, stock support and a territory that is yours, for businesses that can hold stock and sell technically.
Why partner
Why partner with us
What you get, stated plainly.
Trade pricing
Distributor pricing on the categories you carry, set against volume rather than negotiated order by order.
Stock support
Access to stock held at Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja, so you can sell what you do not yet own.
Protected territory
We do not appoint two distributors into the same territory for the same categories. Your market is yours to build.
Technical backup
Our team supports your sales. If a customer asks a specification question you cannot answer, put them on to us.
Catalogue
What you would distribute
Carry one category or several. Most distributors start with two and add as they build.
Requirements
What we look for
We would rather tell you honestly up front than waste your time. These are not arbitrary hurdles, they are what makes a distributor relationship work for both sides.
- A registered business, trading for at least a year
- Trade premises or storage you control
- An existing customer base in your state
- Willingness to commit to a minimum order volume
- Someone in the business who can talk specification with a customer

If you are close but not certain you qualify, call us. We would rather have the conversation than have you self select out of a partnership that would have worked.

Process
How it works
Four steps, and we will keep you informed at each one.
01
Apply
Complete the form below. It is longer than our quote form on purpose, because we are assessing a business rather than pricing an order.
02
We review and call
We review the application and call you within three business days to talk through territory, categories and volume.
03
Terms agreed
We agree pricing, territory, categories and payment terms in writing so there is no ambiguity later.
04
First order
You place your first order and we support it closely. How that one goes shapes the relationship.
Apply
Distributor application
Eleven questions. It takes about five minutes and it tells us what we need to know to have a useful conversation with you.
Questions
Distributor FAQs
Yes, a distributor holds stock. That is the difference between a distributor and a reseller, and it is what earns the pricing and the territory. We will agree a realistic opening order rather than impose one.
Usually a state, sometimes a region, depending on the categories and the size of your business. We agree it in writing before you commit.
Yes. Solar is the most common single category start, and many distributors add cable and general electrical afterwards.
We will not appoint a second distributor for your categories in your territory. Where a national client places a central order that lands in your area, we will talk to you about it rather than around you.
We call within three business days of your application. Agreeing terms usually takes a week or two after that.
