Cutting through the mist to see the reality: The Basic Steps

April 14, 2009 at 11:29 am 1 comment

So let’s start to dig into some of the basics of how to get you on your way. Listed below is the first step:

 

1.     Register
There are a few basic sites that you’re going to need to register on. These are as follows:

 

- D & B DUNS Number – This should be the first place you register. You will be unable to register anywhere else until this is completed. Very simple registration and only requires basic company information. It can take anywhere from 24 hrs to a week to get this number.

- Central Contractor Registration(CCR)Here’s your second stop! Once you have your DUNS number you’ll be able to register on CCR. You’re going to need to allot a little more time to complete this registration. The first step will be to enter your DUNS number and TIN/EIN. Within 24 hrs CCR will verify that you have a valid TIN/EIN and DUNS number. After that you’ll be able to log in and complete your registration. You’ll need to enter basic company info including some financial stuff.

 

- ORCA – Stop number three! After completing your registration on CCR you will need to register here. Basically this is a self-certification that you’re not involved with child labor, exporting to North Korea and various other things along those lines.

So there you have it! You’ve taken your first step towards becoming the next contractor to put the new “stimulus” money to good use!
