The D-U-N-S Number has become the standard for keeping track of the world’s businesses. Many major corporations and governments, including the U.S. Government, require their suppliers and contractors to have a D-U-N-S Number. It can:

  • Enhance the credibility of your business in the marketplace
  • Enable potential customers, suppliers and lenders to easily identify and learn about your company
Getting a D-U-N-S Number alone will not establish a D&B credit file for your company. If you’re requesting a D-U-N-S Number because you need to show others that your business is creditworthy, you will probably need to establish a credit file as well. To do so and get a D-U-N-S Number at the same time, simply choose the CreditBuilder option
