Get your D-U-N-S application right the first time.
A D-U-N-S Number is a unique business identifier issued by Dun & Bradstreet, often required for international vendor registration, global tenders, or platforms like Apple Developer and Amazon. The application itself is free — but it's easy to get the details wrong and have it delayed or rejected. We help you prepare and submit it correctly.
What exactly is a D-U-N-S Number, and do I need one?
A D-U-N-S Number is a nine-digit code that uniquely identifies your business in Dun & Bradstreet's global database. Many international platforms and tenders use it to verify that a business is legitimate before they'll work with it. You likely need one if you're registering as a developer or vendor on certain global platforms, bidding for international tenders, or trying to build a credit profile for your business outside Kenya.
What's included
- Checking whether your business already has a D-U-N-S Number

Our process, step by step
Check existing records
We first check whether your business already has a D-U-N-S Number, since duplicate applications can cause delays.
Document preparation
We help you gather and organise the business documents the application requires.
Submission
We complete and submit the application accurately on your behalf.
Follow-up
We track the application status and keep you updated until it's resolved.
D-U-N-S number assistance for Kenyan companies
We help you prepare accurate business details and navigate the D-U-N-S application process so procurement and partner portals stop blocking your bids. Our Westlands team scopes fixed phases, documents ownership, and trains your staff so the system survives after go-live — not just demo day.
After intake we give you a clear checklist, expected follow-up cadence, and optional website fixes so procurement portals see one coherent company story across registration documents and the public web.
What the engagement covers
Document checklist (registration, directors, address, contacts), application guidance, follow-ups on stalled records and alignment of your public website/contact data so reviewers see a consistent company profile.
What we do not claim
We do not sell D-U-N-S numbers, invent affiliations with Dun & Bradstreet, or guarantee issuance timelines controlled by third parties. We assist with preparation and process navigation.
Pricing
Figures below are planning ranges for Kenyan organisations; your signed proposal is authoritative. Always ask for a written scope, timeline and fixed-price range before engineering starts.
- Assisted application package: fixed fee quoted after a short intake call
- Bundle with website/contact page cleanup when your digital footprint is inconsistent
Why companies get stuck
Mismatched legal names, outdated addresses, inactive phone numbers and websites that contradict registration documents delay verification. We align your public footprint — including About and contact pages — before submission.
Who this helps
Exporters, suppliers entering multinational vendor portals, NGOs completing due diligence packs, and startups responding to enterprise RFPs that list a D-U-N-S requirement.
Next steps
Pair this with a clear company website, accurate contact details, and vendor-readiness reading on the blog. See how we present delivery proof in case studies.
