Business & Charge Accounts
Open a Cowan's business account
For over a generation, Cowan's has kept offices, schools, studios and job sites across the Kootenays stocked and running. A business account gives your organization better pricing, faster reordering, and the option to buy on account — backed by real, local service.
Why open an account
- Business pricing on the office and art supplies you buy most
- Charge account (Net-30 invoicing) on approved credit — order now, pay later
- One account for your whole team, with saved favourites and quick reordering
- Order your way — online, in-store, or by phone
- Local pickup & delivery — same-day pickup in Nelson, plus delivery routes to Nelson, Castlegar and the Trail area
- A real person to call — knowledgeable, Canadian-owned, and local
Who it's for
Businesses, schools and school districts, non-profits, government and public bodies, contractors and trades, and design studios — anyone buying office or art supplies regularly.
