Across the world, more than 600 million+ businesses are recognised and verified through one trusted system, the D-U-N-S® Number by Dun & Bradstreet. From global corporations to small enterprises, it has become the universal standard for business identity and credibility, relied upon by over 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies.
The D-U-N-S Number (Data Universal Numbering System) is a unique nine-digit identifier that distinguishes one business from another anywhere in the world. It enables companies to build trust, access financing, and secure partnerships with confidence. With this number, organisations can prove legitimacy, strengthen reputation, and unlock international opportunities.
Dun & Bradstreet Nigeria is the only authorised entity that can issue the DUNS Number, connecting local businesses directly to a global network of verified enterprises. For many organisations, this single step has become the gateway to global trade, partnership, and investor trust.
According to Dun & Bradstreet Nigeria, having a DUNS Number is not just about being listed. It is about joining a global ecosystem where data drives trust and trust drives growth. Businesses with a D-U-N-S Number are visible, credible, and ready for global collaboration.
