Become a Retailer
Become an Everyday Home Living store
Join a national network of independently owned Australian stores. Keep your name, your team and full ownership of your business, while gaining the buying power, brand and online presence of a large retailer.
A retail brand built for local stores
Everyday Home Living is the online home of a network of independently owned Australian stores. The brand spans appliances, kitchen, laundry, floorcare, heating and cooling, technology and everyday home essentials, presented through one recognisable storefront that local stores can trade behind.
Operating as an Everyday Home Living store gives your business a polished online presence and a trusted name in the home and living space, without the cost and complexity of building a national brand from scratch. You can read more about Everyday Home Living or browse the brands we carry across the range.
Operated by Independent Business Group under licence
Everyday Home Living is a retail brand operated under licence by Independent Business Group (IBG), one of Australia's established retail buying groups, with more than 250 independent member stores. That collective scale gives members access to the brands, range and pricing you would expect from a large national retailer, while keeping local ownership and personal service in place.
IBG negotiates group pricing and improved trading terms with suppliers, and supports members across marketing, IT and helpdesk support, category management and business advisory. Becoming an Everyday Home Living store means joining IBG and choosing to trade under the brand, with the group's buying power and support behind you.
What you gain as an Everyday Home Living store
The core advantage is commercial leverage. Through Independent Business Group, members access group-negotiated supplier pricing and trading terms that are usually reserved for much larger organisations, which helps protect margin and keep your range competitive against the national chains.
Alongside the buying power, you gain a ready-made online storefront under the Everyday Home Living brand. The site brings new customers to a recognisable home and living destination and sends online sales back to local stores, so your business benefits from a national web presence without having to build and maintain one alone.
Members can also draw on practical support across marketing, IT and helpdesk, category management and business advisory. This support is grounded in real retail experience and tailored to your business rather than applied as a fixed program, so you use what helps and leave what does not.
Independence by design, not a franchise
This is not a franchise. There is no franchise-style rulebook, no forced branding and no mandates or quotas. You keep full ownership and control of your business, along with your name, your team and the local relationships you have built over the years.
The Everyday Home Living brand and online storefront are there to use in the way that suits your store. Members engage with the group on their own terms, gaining national strength and brand access while staying firmly in control of how they operate day to day.
Who can become a store
Independent Business Group works with independent retailers across a wide range of categories, including appliance, electrical, computer and technology, hardware and home improvement, furniture and workplace, and homeware retailers, as well as multi-category independent businesses. If you own an established independent store in the home, living or technology space and want buying power without giving up control, it is worth starting a conversation.
Support is tailored to the business, not the category. The membership team takes the time to understand your store, your goals and whether the group is the right fit before anything is agreed.
