HD Supply is a major MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) distributor serving facilities, property management, and construction sectors. Founded in 1974 as Maintenance Warehouse, it now operates as a Home Depot subsidiary. It’s a genuine supplier account for businesses that already buy maintenance products.
HD Supply's invoice terms serve as an operating supplier relationship for recurring purchases. Unlike fee-based starter vendor accounts that some businesses use solely to build credit, an HD Supply net-30 account is intended for established businesses with ongoing procurement needs. It provides the flexibility to manage cash flow through invoice terms rather than requiring immediate payment at the point of sale.
HD Supply does not report trade payment data to most major business credit bureaus, including Dun & Bradstreet, Experian. As of July 21st, 2026 It only reports to Equifax. This reporting policy is distinct from certain Home Depot commercial credit programs, which may have different reporting behaviors. Verification of this policy was confirmed with the HD Supply credit department as of July 2026. Because HD Supply doesn't report to D&B, this account won't help you establish a PAYDEX® score, since PAYDEX is calculated exclusively from D&B-reported data.
Interested businesses can apply for an account directly through the HD Supply website or by contacting their credit department to initiate the application process for trade terms. The process typically involves submitting a formal business credit application. During this process, you will likely need to provide your business's legal name, Tax ID (EIN), and potentially trade references from other suppliers.
HD Supply evaluates applications based on business creditworthiness and operational history. Unlike consumer-oriented store cards, these accounts are designed for professional entities. Specific documentation requirements or volume minimums should be confirmed directly with the HD Supply credit department during the application process, as requirements may vary depending on the size of the business and the requested credit limit.
You can purchase a wide variety of MROs, plumbing, electrical, janitorial, and property maintenance products. These accounts are best suited for businesses with recurring operational spending needs in these categories, such as:
While this account is a valuable tool for procurement, it does not contribute directly to business credit reports other than Equifax. For those looking to build credit, consider resources like Nav’s net-30 hub. Additionally, using tools like Nav Prime can help, as Nav has published data citing an average 26-point business credit score increase for users who utilize their reporting tools. Individual results may vary. If your primary goal is credit building, you may want to pair your HD Supply account with other vendors that actively report to the bureaus.
