Can I register as both a Customer and Supplier?
A Supplier has all the benefits of both a Customer and Supplier so you shouldn’t need to, but if for some reason you want to register as both, the answer is Yes, but the accounts must have a different User Name and e-mail address. Unless you have different websites you should leave the Company Website field blank on one of your accounts.
