Why You Should Look Up Another Company's D‑U‑N‑S Number

While the D‑U‑N‑S Number itself does not contain any information related to a company’s stability or credit scores, it is connected to their business credit file, which includes insights into that business's credit history, ratings, and scores, as well as information on any lawsuits, liens, and judgements associated with that business.

You can also use the D‑U‑N‑S Number to evaluate supply chain risks or evaluate compliance needs for the companies you plan to do business with.

 

 

Can’t Find Your Company’s D‑U‑N‑S Number? 

Can't find your D-U-N-S Number? One of two things could be the issue.

First, the business phone number or address in your company’s profile might not match the information you input into the lookup tool. If your company has moved or changed phone numbers since you first requested your D‑U‑N‑S Number, you may need to update your company’s Dun & Bradstreet profile.

The other reason you may not have been able to find your D-U-N-S Number is because you don't have one yet. Use the link below to request one.
