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.

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.
