No commercial bureau found? reason for denial

[Anonymous]

I have a small photography studio that is two years old. We are an LLC with EIN, pay sales tax, and have a business checking, etc. I am still learning and

wonder if I am missing something here.

Though I pay cash for most things, I am trying to establish business credit. I have 3 tradelines, Quill, Reliable and Uline. I recently applied for

an Amazon 55 account and was denied with this message: NO COMMERCIAL BUREAU AND/OR CONSUMER BUREAU FOUND

I have a DUNS number. Am I missing something?

im not sure these companies you have report to business credit reports.

you could pg it and probably get approved.

Contact the companies you have the corproate accounts with - Quill & Uline and ask when they report. Some of the smaller vendors have specific qualifications for when they report to yours DUNS number. If it's a net 30 account they say to pay it past 15 days but before 30 days - or something like that. Find out the specifics, they might just have your DUNS number incorrectly which would be an easy fix.

You can also look to obtain a few more corporate vendor accounts, even if you don't particularly need them. But it will help to boost those reporting to your DUNS number so that you can qualify for a "bigger" account like Amazon.
