Inward Investment Agencies

Meet new investors in their first month

Beauhurst gives you decision-grade data on incorporations, ownership and hiring, giving you sight of a company arriving in your region while there is still something to offer them.

  • Invest in West Northants
  • Lancashire County Council
  • Ards and North Down Borough Council
  • Science and Technology Facilities Council
  • UK Export Finance

Decision-grade data gives you a complete, current, and reliable view to find, screen, and track the companies arriving and growing in your region.

  • Arrival alerts

    Know the week a foreign-parented company registers

    Build a collection of companies incorporated in your region whose parent sits outside the country, put an alert on it, and get told as each one appears — rather than reading about it a quarter later.

  • One profile

    One profile instead of four tabs

    Filed financials, group structure, patents, grants and fundraisings on a single company record. Enough to walk into a bilateral visit already knowing what the company has been doing — and grants in particular give a state-backed body a natural opener.

  • Activity search

    Search on what a company does

    Our own human-verified classification sits alongside the statutory codes, built from how a company describes itself and what it makes. Priority sectors that don’t exist as an official category become searchable, defensible lists.

Common challenges faced by inward investment agencies

A referral from a law firm, something from your own network, or a list of newly registered foreign-owned companies that lands quarterly. By the time any of it reaches you the company has already chosen its site and signed a lease.

Statutory codes describe a company the way a form required, not the way it works. Screening for a priority sector means opening websites one by one to find out what the business actually does.

You hold the list of companies in your region under overseas ownership, and it only stays current if somebody notices a change. Nothing tells you when a parent company changes or a new structure appears above one of your entries.

Financials from one place, recent news from another, ownership from a third, and whatever the account manager can remember. The briefing gets built from scratch each time, by the person who can least afford the hour.
