Learnings for the
Small Business Community
11
Importance of D&B® data, scores, ratings
At a recent event, a rep from a large global company asked
business owners attending the event:
Supporting the Small Business Community

Do you have a
D&B D-U-N-S®
Number?
Do you know your
company’s SER
Rating?
12
Learnings
Many companies and government entities require businesses
to have a D&B D-U-N-S® Number before doing business with
them
Many companies require businesses to meet D&B®
score/ratings thresholds
A best practice is for small business owners to understand
how D&B® data, scores, ratings, and other financial
information within their business credit file may be used to
help make decisions about their business
– Dun & Bradstreet provides a free service, iUpdate, which allows
business principals to view, print, and request basic updates to their
business information. US Federal Contractors and Grantees can access

“Small businesses are the backbone of
the U.S. Economy…. [They] employ
half of the private workforce and have
created the lion's share of post-
recession jobs.”

Small Business Concerns
16
Latest Dun & Bradstreet/Pepperdine Access to Capital Study
Funding is important for
small business
– Middle-market
companies are getting
funded and growing,
while small and micro-
businesses are still
finding it difficult to get
traditional loans

entrepreneurs

Asked all of them for their “Funding” story
– Major Learning: Not one took any substantial funding to
grow
19
Additional Small Business Pain Points
Networking
– Still the key source of new business for many small business
owners and veteran entrepreneurs, but networking opportunities
are limited, expensive or too time-consuming
