All business owners who are interested in establishing business credit should get a D&B D-U-N-S® Number, which is accessible to all businesses for free. A D-U-N-S Number is often required on business loan applications and to contract for government agencies and large corporations.

What are two advantages of a sole proprietorship?

The advantages to doing business as a sole proprietor include: 1) No formal filing with the state is required for a sole proprietorship, and the sole proprietor need not file separate income tax returns for the business. Instead, he reports the profit or loss on his personal income tax return, so the accounting and bookkeeping requirements are very simple. 2) A sole proprietor does not have to share the decision making process with other owners. He controls the management of the business. 3) A sole proprietor can freely sell his business.


Where can you run business credit for free?

Running your business credit report is free. You would need to contact DNB and request a Duns Number and an Eupdate password. Then you can go to http://eupdate.dnb.com and login and check your own report. I will warn you though, if you have not checked it before, or proactively tried to get vendors to report, chances are you do not have a strong business credit score because business credit is not automatic like personal credit. Only certain vendors report.


How long does it take to obtain business credit after receiving a duns number?

A Dun's number does not get you credit. When you request your duns number all you have actually done is to create a credit file (possibly a blank file) for your business venture in DNB's data base. You will then need to have creditors start reporting your account history to DNB to build the file.As with your personal credit, you will need to build your business credit as well. Obtain a small loan and or a business credit card and maintain a good payment history. A good rule of thumb also is to NOT be in debt more than 25% of your total available credit lines. This shows a creditor that you know how to handle your credit.Just use your common sense, apply the same rules as you would for your personal credit and you will soon find your business credit worthiness growing by leaps and bounds.AnswerA regular, non-expedited D&B D-U-N-S® Number can take up to 30-days to be issued. It is important to understand that business credit does not come automatically with a D&B D-U-N-S Number. Business credit can be improved by demonstrating positive payment history, steady cash flow, trade references, and other gauges of credibility on a business's credit profile.
