Dun and Bradstreet is all about business credit. Your personal social security number is not used in determining business credit.
If you are doing business with your social security number this is not good because it means that everything you own personally is at risk.
If a business owner is a solo-preneur or an entrepreneur, the social security number into play
The next step is to apply for an account in the SAM, System Acquisition Management.

Ms. Handcock makes sure that she helps grant recipients maintain communication with the grant provider. The grant receiver receives a schedule of when they should update the grade provider with a progress report of what's been done, send an interim report and final report on how the grant is being applied in the business. Successful grant recipients are certified by their state which can be used as reciprocity in other areas.
