Please kindly advice. Previously I could upload an app on my Google Play console Developer Personal Account but now I am trying to create a Google Play Console Developer account for a company that intends to launch their app on the Google Play store but I am told to provide a D-U-N-S number for the company before proceeding with the creation.

I was told I could get it free after applying which takes 30 working days but the new development now is I am been told the company has to pay some certain amount to enable them recieve the D-U-N-S number within 10 working days.

I will like to know if there is anyone who has ever applied for a D-U-N-S nuber prior to creating a Google Play Console Developer Account for a company app. See Links below for the DUNS registration and advice.

Thank you.
