DON’T IGNORE YOUR DUNS PROFILE!
[Duns & Bradstreet Number] Lets you build business credit separate from your personal credit, making it easier to get loans or trade lines without risking your score. It verifies your company’s legit to suppliers, which can snag better deals or terms. Banks love seeing it… Here is how: 1) Go to their website. 2) Use an email like Gmail, or Proton. Don’t use Yahoo. 3) Congratulation- they will email you with your new D&B Number. Many people use the D&B# as their Social Security Numbers to obtain Credit Cards, Bank Accounts, Credit Lines, Apartments, Automobiles…. Established and creditable. It opens doors to corporate deals and government contracts that need verified entities. Smart move for scaling up. Pairing the LLC and D&B# basically separates your business identity from you personally. Your LLC gets its own business credit score - think Paydex from D&B or FICO SBSS for loans. You can try: ULine, Grainger, Summa Office Supplies. Apartments too. I tried it with Chase Credit Card. Applied with the LLC [Wyoming] and used the D&B as the Social. Wha-La! This makes applying for grants and franchisees simpler, since most want verification. Some vendors give discounts or faster shipping if they see you’re D&B registered. Hope this helps!
