You need BCG's credit experts to help you secure your own D-U-N-S number!

The Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) D-U-N-S® number is the industry standard for business listings and obtaining one for your business is your vital first step to begin building your company profile.

Just as you cannot establish personal credit without a Social Security number, so is the importance of having your own D-U-N-S number to establish business credit. But there is one exception, your D-U-N-S number is international in scope and it is your "Credit Ambassador" to the entire world.

What exactly is the D-U-N-S Number?

The D-U-N-S number is your unique nine-digit identification. It provides unique identification of single business entities, while linking corporate family structures together. D&B links the D-U-N-S numbers of parents, subsidiaries, headquarters and branches to more than 70 million corporate family members around the world.

Used by the world's most influential standard-setting organizations, it is recognized, recommended and/or required by more than 50 global, industry and trade associations, including the United Nations, the U.S. Federal Government, the Australian Government and the European Commission.

In today's global economy, the D-U-N-S Number has become the standard for keeping track of the world's businesses. In other words, a D-U-N-S is a necessity for the future survival of your business.

It is imperative that your company is listed in D&B's database and BCG knows how to do it right, and do it fast. We can guarantee that we will obtain your D-U-N-S Number within 30 business days.

* It is important to remember that getting your D-U-N-S Number alone will not establish a D&B credit file for your company.

If you are requesting a D-U-N-S number, due to the fact that you need to show others that your business is creditworthy, then BCG will also assist you to establish a credit file as well. And to establish a credit file and obtain a D-U-N-S Number at the same time, then you need BCG on your team to ensure that it is done correctly the first time.

How does D&B get its information?

D&B has been collecting, updating and managing its huge accumulation of current and historical data over all continents for more than a century. This database now encompasses 63 million businesses, linked across 209 countries by our global business identifier, the D-U-N-S number.

Of course, D&B relies in part on official information published by company registration authorities. However, many countries, particularly in emerging market regions, have very limited disclosure laws and these are often only erratically enforced. It is therefore essential to use additional published sources including the local press.

In many cases, payments information is systematically collected from suppliers. Changes in payments behavior can give unexpected and early insights into a company's trading position.

One of the most important sources is the Company itself. Any promotional or informational material it has published may be complemented by interviews with the principals, who in general realize that it is in their interest for D&B to present a fair and complete picture of their trading situation.

If D&B asks you for information, they are hoping to make it easier for others to do business with you.
