Creating A Dunn And Bradstreet Number
One of the most often forgotten steps in the process of preparing for business grant applications by amateurs is the establishment of a D-U-N-S Number or D&B Number. This number is established through Dunn & Bradstreet. You’ll need to create a number for each location of your business. It is fairly easy to do and takes very minimal time to accomplish. Be sure to accomplish this task as early as possible in your venture to pursue a grant or you are most likely to be left hanging out to dry when your proposal gets reviewed by foundations and government agencies. As already stated, it is easy to establish, yet it is an extremely crucial to the legitimacy of your project. Below are the resources that you’ll need to establish your Dunn & Bradstreet Number.
