2. Provide key contact information

When creating your account, you’ll need to provide the contact details of three key individuals in your organization:

  • The signatory : the person authorized to accept the general terms and conditions.
  • The owner : for the company’s legal information.
  • The accountant : for billing and invoicing management.

3. Set your account preferences

At this stage, you can customize the management of your business account to better suit your needs.

  • Purchase order required
    Indicate whether a purchase order should be required for each rental. This option can help you maintain better control over your projects and ensure proper internal tracking.
  • Project number
    Add a project number to your rentals if needed. This can simplify invoicing, budgeting, and job site organization.
  • Tax exemption
    Confirm if your business is eligible for a tax exemption.
  • Credit application
    If you wish, you can submit a credit application directly through the form. This option allows you to benefit from payment terms tailored to your operations.

4. Submit your request and activate your account

Once your form is completed, your request will be sent to our credit team, who will review and verify the information provided.

You will then receive our general terms and conditions to sign electronically. During this time, our team will contact your business references to validate the details of your application.

Once your business account request is approved, you’ll receive a welcome email confirming the activation of your account.

The processing time is typically around one business day, depending on the accuracy of the information submitted and how quickly your references respond.

Customer portal

I can't log in to my business account

Your customer portal and account history are linked to your email address.
If our system doesn't recognize you, it's possible that your email is not yet associated with your account.

In that case, you can:

  • Request an email update directly at a branch
  • Contact our customer service team to update your information

For new business accounts, only the signatory or an administrator can log in for the first time. That person will then be able to grant access to other team members.

If you're still experiencing login issues, please contact our credit team at ouverturedecompte@simplex.ca for assistance.

How can I open a business account?

You have two options:

  1. Create your account online through the client portal. Once logged in, select the “Business” account type and complete the four-step form. The authorized representative of the company will then receive an email to electronically sign the request.
  2. If you experience any issues, contact our credit team by email at ouverturedecompte@simplex.ca or through our chatbot available on the website.

Once your request is submitted and signed, our team will review your application and you’ll receive a confirmation email as soon as your business account is officially opened.
