0VENDOR with D-U-N-S number

Dun & Bradstreet is a company that create reports based on the payment history of suppliers.

It’s like a credit score for companies. The score is out of 100 and is determined on whether the
company pays on time. If the company pays all their bills on time then they will get a score of 80. To
increase this they must pay bills before the due date. If they are late with payments then the score
will reduce. If the average is over 120 days after due date the score will be less than 20 and will be a
UN (not good at all). A good score is between 65 and 75.

Other companies look at dun & bradstreet reports to see if they want to supply goods or services to
you. The big question is ‘do you pay up on time?’

Companies supply information on payments to dun & bradstreet, if your vendor doesn’t supply this
info then paying them early will not affect your score. Usually large companies will and small
companies won’t supply payment information.
