est business credit reporting agency. You can apply for this without any fees at Dun & Bradstreet’s website (dnb.com), and you’ll usually receive this number within thirty (30) days. Do not apply for this number until you’ve prepared your self thoroughly, because any information you give to them... goes into your credit file... permanently. After you’ve obtained your D-U-N-S

Dun & Bradstreet will lower your credit score for every day a creditor reports your bill as unpaid while you’re within your grace pe- riod.

Your Paydex score is issued once you’ve established a known vendor/credit relationship with at least five (5) creditors. There are shortcuts that will help you get much more than $750 a lot faster. When using a business credit expert, most small business owners (even startups) can be approved for vendor credit lines of
