Credit issuers, suppliers, and lenders view a 411 listing as a strong sign of business credibility that’s only obtained by an established business.
Most credit issuers and lending sources look to see if your number is listed with 411 before they’ll issue you initial credit, or even a loan.
You can’t just go to 411 direct to get your number listed, it has to “organically” happen. This means 411 will eventually add your number to their directory once they see your business listed at places online such as Bing or Google.
There is a way to shortcut the process so you don’t have to wait for 411 to list you.
There are services like List Yourself who will setup your 411 listing for you.
Other services like Yext can also get you listed with 411 as well, they are more expensive but list you in more places than just 411.
Whichever option you choose, make sure your phone number is listed with 411 so you don’t run into obstacles when trying to get credit and loans for your business.
