Make Sure Your Dun & Bradstreet Report (D&B) Profile is up to date and accurate
Posted by David Rhoads on Mon, Mar 29, 2010 @ 04:22 PM
Out of the 1000’s of lease applications we
review, the number one thing our customers can do to improve their credit
profile is update their Dun & Bradstreet Report. Blue Street’s team of
credit professionals will guide you through the simple reviewing and updating
process.
As you may know, D&B is a publicly
traded company that provides information on businesses and corporations. Often
referred to as just "D&B" the company is best known for its
"D-U-N-S Number" identifier that is assigned to over 100 million
companies worldwide.
It is critical that before you begin the process of leasing or financing
equipment that you are confident you have a positive D&B profile on record.
The first thing a bank checks when reviewing applications is your company’s
D&B profile. Your profile gives the lender a snapshot of both your business
and credit history.
How do I know if my D&B profile is up to date and accurate?
Call us. Blue Street Capital will pull your D&B (while you are on the
phone) and explain to you how your report looks from a lender's perspective,
describing all of the positive and negative aspects of the report and what you
can do to remedy any potential problems. We do this free of charge. Unlike
a credit report, looking at your D&B report has no affect on your business
or personal credit.
Call us at (714) 316-1180 and ask to speak with an
account representative.
What if my D&B contains mistakes?
If there are any "negatives" regarding your credit history, don't
worry - remember that Blue Street Capital has options for all types of
credit. Even the most responsible businesses have credit blemishes that we can
work around.
If D&B reflects something negative about your business that you know to be
inaccurate, we will explain to you how it can be fixed. Again, Blue Street
Capital provides this service free of charge.
What if I don't have a D-U-N-S number?
If you do not have a D&B profile, it's not a show-stopper. But having a
favorable credit history listed in D&B will go a long way for you in
getting the lowest rates on your equipment leasing or financing. If you are new
to D&B we can help you understand how to setup a profile and why this is an
important tool for your business.
