Hi Will,
I had read many threads with you helping out fellow contractors and people just starting out looking for help with building business credit. I really thought it was great how you took the time to give information out and really liked how the people responded to you that i felt i should join this site and see if you would be interested in possibly helping me.
I'm 3 years in business and i have an LLC. I work with five different suppliers. Home Depot, Universal Supply, WallWork Brothers, Sid Harvey, And a small plumbing store who all gave the green light to write company checks to for the past 3 years, Supposedly they did a background check with the banks and looked up my business.
After the many mentions about D & B and getting a duns number i went on the site to search my company and it is listed there. I went the back door like you said on the Gov site and online got my 9 digit # in 5 min. Question, How long should i wait to go for the staples card,and a sunoco card, both dont ask fo a PG. Since i have been listed on d & B without knowledge, would mean suppliers are giving out my info?? I never bounced a check also. How would i get my paydex score?
Sorry for the ramble, I hope you can find time to help me out.
Good luck to you,
Robert
