Decision-grade data gives you a complete, current, and reliable view to find, qualify, and track private companies across your whole market.
Earlier signals
See the event forming, not the announcement
Unannounced fundraisings picked up from shareholder filings, headcount and turnover trajectories, funding history and shareholding size — the signals that precede a liquidity event rather than report it. Build a watchlist of owners approaching one and get there before the list is public.
Cleaner lists
Start from a list that already excludes your book
Upload your clients as a collection and screen them out, then split what remains by postcode so each relationship manager gets their own territory. One central list, allocated, with no two people working the same name.
True ownership
Follow ownership through to the person
Group structure, persons with significant control and the ultimate owner in one view, with their other shareholdings alongside — so onboarding checks and source-of-wealth questions start from evidence instead of a search engine.
Common challenges faced by banks
The sale completes, the round is announced, and the owner is suddenly on every list in the market. By the time you make contact you are the fifth call that week, and the conversation is a coin toss.
A target list arrives full of companies that are already clients, and two relationship managers work the same name in the same month. Screening it out is done by hand, against a book that lives somewhere else.
Deal values come through undisclosed, so someone clicks into each one to size it from the accounts. Alerts surface an event from five years ago. The time goes on sifting rather than on the companies worth a conversation.
You want the companies supplying defence, not the defence primes. Standard classifications can’t draw that line, so the search either misses the cohort or returns thousands of names you have to read one by one.
You can see the holding company, but not the person behind it — and for onboarding you need the natural owner, their other holdings, and something that corroborates where the wealth came from.
Every credit paper needs the borrower plus a handful of comparable companies, and each one means another trip to Companies House and another PDF. Across a book of a thousand borrowers that is a standing cost.
Help your team find promising companies earlier, win and retain them, and spot market trends with confidence.

What banks use Beauhurst for
“Before using Beauhurst, we had less focus on high-growth founders because it was harder to spot and track them — despite the fact that high-growth is clearly where the biggest amounts of money are being made in the UK.”
