Today, I'm discussing how to apply for your DUNS number. Not sure what that is? Check out my previous posts below.

The process of applying for a DUNS number as a government contractor is a fairly simple one. The first step to applying is visiting the following website - dnb.com.

**Side note: I've found that this process works better when using Internet Explorer versus Google Chrome.**

The picture below is your starting point. Begin by hovering over "D-U-N-S Number" near the top of the page and then clicking the "Get a D-U-N-S Number" from the options shown.

DUNS = Data Universal Numbering System

What is a DUNS number?

A DUNS number is a nine-digit unique identifier established for your business. I tell clients to think of it as your business’ social security number. A credit file is created and maintained for your DUNS number, similar to the one created for your social security number. This credit file is maintained by a company called Duns and Bradstreet, a publicly owned company similar to Equifax, Experian, or Transunion – the three main credit bureaus.

Duns & Bradstreet, or D&B, collects your company’s data - things like your business’ creditworthiness, its business-to-business sales, and its risk levels - and is almost always referenced by lenders and potential business partners to evaluate your business’ reliability and/or its financial stability.

In order to contract with Federal government agencies, your company is required to have a DUNS number and I'll show you where to go to get one - AT NO COST.

Everyone may not be interested in starting a business but if you are, I feel that now - despite what's happening in the world around us - is a great time. You may find that you now have more time to plan out that business out and put those plans into action.
