Have you asked or been asked for a D&B number during the course of doing business? Most likely you have. Dun & Bradstreet is the most recognized name in the world for judging the credit worthiness of a business, large or small. Dun & Bradstreet has an incredible offering for small business people, one that appears to have been specifically developed for crowdfunding. By showing potential investors that you have a D & B number as part of your equity crowdfunding offering you will be setting aside their fears of your company not being legitimate. Setting these fears aside will allow potential investors to focus on the merits of your products or services.
The price at which D & B is offering this small business service at is truly amazing. This offering is an absolute MUST for your crowdfunding small business. The small businesses that can provide D & B numbers as part of their crowdfunding prospectus will be truly set apart from the crowd. You’re likely aware of how many companies will be entering the fray to fulfill their capital needs through crowdfunding, this small initial expense could very well be the difference between the success or failure of your crowdfunding efforts.
With 100% certainty I can tell you that prior to raising capital through crowdfunding my company will have a D&B number in place.
Although crowdfunding is the new, hot way to fund a business, when it comes to investors parting with their hard earned money they will want reassurance that your small business is a proven, legitimate entity.

Well, you can’t go wrong with D&B. Everything about what Dun & Bradstreet has to offer is top notch. 1. Website design – This is how you design a website to pull a customer in. They offer an easy layout with a welcoming enter page. Excellent colors and a smiling client in jeans and a jacket. 2. Welcome package – It’s hard to believe that D&B offers a D-U-N-S number, business credit file and a premium listing for such a low cost. I’m recommending D&B to others.
Having a vote of confidence from an organization like Dun & Bradstreet goes a long way when it comes to fundraising. Until you make a name for yourself in your field there has to be some sort of way for your potential funders to be assured that your business is legit. Success often depends on making the right investment at the right time. If you are going for the crowdfunding method then Dun & Bradstreet is definitely a company you should consider hiring.
You have it dead on when it comes to your D&B number. I strongly urge anyone with a small business to look into this to help be more credible.
