Applying for a DUNS Number is required to set up an Apple developer account. I was applying for it and need help with two questions in the DUNS application form:
What should I enter for these fields?
Instead of getting a DUNS number through the dnb.co.in website, you can get Apple to make this request for you. Simply submit the form to "look up" your DUNS number on Look up your D-U-N-S Number even if you don't have it. If the website is unable to find it, it will allow you to submit the form to acquire it.
A few days after submitting this form, I got an email from dnb.com, which warned me that I don't have a company, and therefore can't get a DUNS number:

Your milleage may vary, as I did this in the UK.
Unfortunately, this email from dnb confirmed that I need to be a registered company to get a DUNS number and create an Organization account.
