Become A Billabong Clothing Retailer

Billabong is currently one of the hottest clothing brands of swimming and surfing apparel in the world, so it is no surprise that many major retail stores in Australia, the United States, Japan, Brazil, New Zealand and many others want to carry its products in their stores.


For a company that started in the 1970s, Billabong has come a long way, boasting a presence in more than 100 countries and a roster of merchandise that goes well beyond that of a simple surf-apparel store.

1. Visit Billabong's corporate Web site to get pertinent information such as e-mail addresses, telephone numbers and mailing addresses of the main office in Australia, as well as regional offices around the world.


2. Contact the company's headquarters nearest you and learn how you can be a Billabong clothing retailer. The telephone is the best bet for quickly tracking down the right person to give you the details you need to get started.


3. Prepare the required documents, which include business permits, financial disclosures and business tax forms, among others. It is always easier if you have an existing clothing retail store, but if not, make sure you have completed the necessary paperwork so that you will be able to carry the Billabong brand as soon as your application is approved.


4. Submit your letter of intent to be a retailer and all other necessary paperwork to the nearest Billabong office. It is often required that you send these documents via traditional mail, rather than by fax or e-mail.


5. Once your application is approved you will be required to sign a contract with Billabong and pay the accompanying fees before you can start carrying the brand in your store.
