What is the DUNS Number?

DUNS stands for Data Universal Numbering System and is a method to deliver a Live Business Identity. Developed by Duns & Bradstreet, its a 9-digit unique identifier for businesses and organizations.

Predictive and prescriptive analytics and scores round out the insights Live Business Identity delivers.
