About the D‑U‑N‑S® Number
The D‑U‑N‑S® Number is used around the world to identify and access information on businesses.

Even after you’ve signed a contract or accepted a loan, your D‑U‑N‑S® Number can be used to help get a clear view of your business, which can help you negotiate for improved terms and conditions or a favourable line of credit.

The information in the report includes vital D&B® scores and ratings that will speed up decision-making.

The organisation or company requesting the D‑U‑N‑S® Number can use it to help verify a company’s legitimacy or to access the D&B scores and ratings in the bidder’s business credit report.
