How to Open a Business Account at Sam's Club
Sam's Club is the wholesale version of Wal-Mart, owned by the same corporation. It offers supplies, equipment and materials to people and businesses, in large volumes and at discounted prices. Sam's Club operates on a membership basis; shoppers pay an annual fee based on the type of membership they choose. You can join Sam's Club with an individual membership even if you do not own a business, but business membership gives you advantages such as additional cards and extended shopping hours.

Visit the membership desk at your local Sam's Club and ask for an application for business membership. If you will not be paying with a business check, present a piece of paperwork that verifies your involvement in the business, such as a bill or a business card. You do not need to present a copy of a business license as long as you have another type of verification.
