New on the Beauhurst Platform: 10% Scale-Ups

We’re excited to announce that we have expanded our coverage of the UK’s most ambitious companies. The Beauhurst platform now tracks companies that have shown 10% growth in employee count or turnover per annum averaged over a three year period, in addition to those companies that have shown 20% growth.

Greater flexibility in your searches

You’ll be able to search for companies with more gradual, but still significant, growth. By providing the option of both 10% and 20% triggers, you can use advanced search to find companies with the level of growth most appropriate for your business.

The 10% tracking trigger is especially useful for those who are looking to enhance the growth of scaling companies, or partner and grow with them.

What is a scale-up? 

When we first introduced scale-ups to the Beauhurst platform, we sought to categorise them in accordance with the OECD’s definition: average annualised growth greater than 20% per annum, over a three year period, measured by the number of employees or by turnover.

However, the OECD have since changed their definition of a scale-up to anything greater than 10%. We’ve therefore added 10% scale-ups as a trigger for tracking companies on the Beauhurst platform to ensure our data remains in line with the most recent recommendations.

We understand that changing the definition of a scale-up would affect existing searches and collections, so instead we’ve created two scale-up definitions: 10% and 20%.

A new icon

For companies that meet these criteria, there will be a new trigger icon appearing on their profile. Where they meet the 20% threshold, both icons will therefore appear.
