Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) is the largest provider of business information worldwide. Lenders and large contractors often check with D&B for background information on a company before granting a loan or assigning a project. It’s important to register your business, or if your company is already registered, review your profile for any inaccuracies that could adversely affect your credit.

What does D&B registration entail?

• Registered businesses are assigned a credit score, establishing legitimacy in the marketplace. Every registered business on D&B list receives a nine-digit code (D-U-N-S Number).
• The U.S. government and many major corporations require their suppliers and contractors to have a D-U-N-S Number.
• Potential customers, suppliers and lenders can easily identify and learn about a company.
