How important is a Dunn and Bradsteet Number?

[Dan Brouillette]

I have a feeling that my local community bank is getting pretty low on funds.

My net worth is down, but still respectable. I'm in my 5th year of investing, and my financials are good.

I heard that by creating my D & B profile, it would secure new funding for my business. It looks to me that a lot of this report is built for terms with potential suppliers.

Is creating the profile worth it for guys like me?
Would this type of funding be like a commercial line, or unsecured?

Any info on how this may work would be great.
