Overview
Creoate is a London-based online wholesale marketplace that connects independent brands with independent retailers in the UK, Europe and the US. Retailers browse more than 200,000 wholesale products from thousands of brands and order with flexible payment terms. For a consumer brand that wants to grow its stockist base, especially in the UK, Creoate is an alternative to Faire and Ankorstore.

What a brand needs

- Low minimum orders that suit small independent shops.
