That depends on your business, but generally it is not necassary.

You should at least get the free number; it`s easy and you can do it online (granted you have to make sure you`re getting the free one as they are trying to sell you on their services; which you don`t need until you get rolling and all that jazz). Go here, do it, and get to your next thing that needs to get done! Have fun. https://eupdate.dnb.com/requestoptions.asp

Absolutely go with Chris`s advice and get the free number - it will be of use to you most likely. I think it takes like 30 days to be active. Some of your vendors and customers may require it.

Ya, getting the free number is definitely a good idea to start out. I would start setting up trade tape accounts that report automatically to DNB that way you can start to establsih a strong business credit score. If you use the right accounts, you do not have to pay DNB.
