Should I get a Dun number?

You have an ein? Chance are you already have one. I was suprised to find this out myself. As I've never signed up for one. 3-4 weeks after you get your EIN you automatically get one. You can do a google search and itll tell you your dun # I'll see if I can find it real quick and will post a link. The getting a number is people who sign up to get their number faster and to monitor their dun credit. But it's expensive.

 

Heres the link

I have one but it’s not been relevant to anything I’ve done so far. They talked me into paying extra many years back. Was a waste of money. It doesn’t hurt though and although they make it seem like you have to pay for it, it’s actually free likes been said.

 

It's a credit report for a business. Most business's have one, can't stop them.

 

I have a ein number and just searched the link above and it came back with nothing.

 

Maybe I’m just not special enough I do pay cash instead of borrowing money. Had a ein since 2013

 

I've only had mine since sept. I too only pay cash. So idk. I did find it odd I had a duns number

 

It is a useful number to have. Allows you to access otherwise walled off Government Freight and other things.
