A very important audit in the Underwriting process is the verification of the company’s address. An Underwriter will use local yellow pages, white pages, 411 and few other online verification processes in their audit. An Underwriter will use this audit for numerous reasons. One important reason is to verify that you have an actual business address, preferably disassociated with your current residence address.

 

A non-listed business will find it much harder to obtain an approval for business credit without being listed. Not being a listed business will also trigger red flags with most creditors and could potentially result in receiving a denial. So in order to avoid getting turned down you should first verify whether or not your company is listed and if you are not, follow these simple steps to establishing your business profile within these directories.

 

Establishing your business in ALL Directory Listings will not only legitimize your company in the eyes of an Underwriter but it will also help potential customers find you. Don’t let a non-listing cost you business credit and potential sales for your company.
