I do not why, but DnB is slowly losing market share to Experian Business. I would like to think it is because of their sketchy business practices but I cannot say for sure. We are slowly seeing companies checking Experian Business instead of DnB so we now have to be just as familiar with our Experian score and scoring system as we are with the DUNS number and the “golden paydex”.

Unlike DnB, Experian is pretty strate forward. From my experience, they report on time, they do not force unnecessary products onto you and they are fair. They may not have a free service to check your Business Credit File as DNB has but we pay for our personal credit scores so why not pay for your business credit scores. Hopefully as they gain market share we will see advancement in their services.

Currently, all companies that are financed through GE all pull Experian opposed to DnB. Amazon and Lowes are two of the many companies financed through GE. I also recently applied for a shell account with one of my businesses and they pulled Experian, so we are seeing the change. Keep up with the changes and you will always be fine.
