How to create an AdeptLink buyer account in 2026
Creating an AdeptLink buyer account takes about 10 minutes. Visit /register, choose Buyer, submit your business email, company legal name, registration number, and a primary contact. KYC verification clears within 24 hours for 92% of applicants, after which you can send RFQs and place orders with any of the 10,000+ verified suppliers.
Key facts
- Average KYC clearance time: under 24 hours for 92% of buyer applications.
- 10,000+ verified suppliers across 50+ countries are reachable from a single buyer account.
- Free to register — AdeptLink charges no platform fee on buyer accounts.
What do I need before I register?
Have four items ready: a company business email (Gmail or Yahoo addresses are rejected by KYC), your company's legal registration number, your company's registered address, and a government-issued ID for the primary contact.
If your company operates under a trading name different from its legal name, prepare a proof document (business license, DBA filing, or trade-name registration) — AdeptLink Compliance asks for it during step 3 of KYC.
How does the registration flow work step by step?
Step 1: At /register pick Buyer, enter your work email, and set a password of 12+ characters.
Step 2: Confirm the email link sent to your inbox within 30 minutes — the link expires after that for security.
Step 3: Complete the company profile: legal name, country, registration number, industry, and annual purchasing volume band.
Step 4: Upload one government ID for the primary contact and one company-registration document. Both files must be PDF, JPG, or PNG and under 10 MB.
Step 5: Submit. The dashboard unlocks browsing immediately; RFQ and order placement unlock after KYC clears.
What happens after I submit KYC?
AdeptLink Compliance reviews each application against UN, OFAC, and EU sanctions lists, plus a beneficial-owner check. The median review time in 2025 was 7 hours; 92% of applications cleared within 24 hours.
If documents are unclear, you receive an email asking for a re-upload. Most rejections are caused by ID photos that crop the document edges — keep all four corners visible.
