DUNS is an acronym that stands for Data Universal Numbering System.  It is a distinct (9) nine-digit number that is offered by Dun &  Bradstreet (D&B).  You can almost of think of it like a social  security number for your business. Companies determine your personal credit worthiness using your social security number and companies determine your business creditworthiness based upon your D & B Rating.

D&B is the one of the oldest credit beau’s in the United States.  Most of us are familiar with Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. Well,  D&B behaves like those companies, but they do it for businesses.  Your DUNS number establishes your organizations D&B profile, which  is used to identity your business world-wide.

Also, if you want to apply to a Federal grant or you find yourself  being the recipient of one, then you will need a DUNS number.  You can  apply to one quickly by calling 1-866-705-5711.
