Beauhurst

“Beauhurst is the leader in the market when it comes to data for fast-growth businesses, and private businesses in general. I use Beauhurst a lot for that type of data. The datasets themselves and the versatility of the technology are supported by the team who really embedded themselves to understand what we were trying to achieve.”

““Our use of Beauhurst doesn’t stop at analysis. We also use it to track company activity in Basildon, enabling us to identify opportunities to have conversations with senior leaders. The Advanced Search function is extensive and we can use it to identify firms that have recently started, those that might have recently taken on a new mortgage, those that appear to be struggling financially, those that are flying — the list is endless.””

““We use Beauhurst for a range of different processes, such as securing funding. For example, Beauhurst was instrumental in helping us secure the £1.27m South East Create Growth Programme from the Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS). In that project, we used Beauhurst to analyse the structure of the Creative Industries (CI) across the Greater Essex, Kent, Medway, West and East Sussex, and map accelerator attendance and investment flows in the region.”

““We also use Beauhurst as a Risk Management tool, checking out the stability and robustness of companies that we work with. That can range from simple credit searches, and financial analysis, to exploring ownership arrangements and the strength of group companies. We find that it allows us to de-risk investment decisions.””

““The platform helps us to account manage our key strategic firms, enabling us to identify the key firms we want a relationship with, providing us with alerts about significant changes that occur in these firms and helping us to sound qualified when we try and open up a dialogue with them.”

““We use Beauhurst to understand our business base and the relative strengths of our area. This data informs our strategic direction, our policy development and our bids for funding. Some of the Beauhurst reports are also really useful in helping shape policy. I have used Beauhurst to present members with data on the local economy.”

““ Beauhurst was instrumental in helping us secure the £1.27m South East Create Growth Programme from the Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS). ””

““ The Beauhurst platform supports us across the whole cycle of project development, design and delivery. We use it as a management, analysis, planning, implementation and control tool. It also helps us across the business engagement cycle — from reporting, segmentation, targeting, and initial engagement, to deepening conversations and evaluation. ””

““ In my opinion, Beauhurst was really the only tool we could have used to evidence the high incidence of creative businesses in the region, but the weak investment markets. ””

““We actually came back because the user experience is very straightforward. The team find it really easy to use […] it’s essentially collated, it’s all there, allows you to track things in a really kind of simplistic way.””

““ Beauhurst is the leading platform in the UK […] It’s just been a very easy tool to use and a great asset to our business. Beauhurst is just much quicker, more accurate and intuitive than other tools we’ve tried. ””

““When we’re talking with clients, we can say that we’ve been through the entirety of a particular sector and these are the top 6/7 candidates that we think are applicable to this particular search.””

““Once we’ve worked with a company, we go back to their page on Beauhurst and, depending on how niche the company is, we can get a list of roughly 20 similar companies to reach out to.””

““ We have to understand the key investors — that’s everything from angel investors to the shareholding split. This information allows us to understand the influential parties with any particular business, and make sure that we are engaged with the right individuals within that organisation. ””

““It’s really useful in terms of how we track and manage the market and our customer base — opening Beauhurst has become the first thing I do when I log on,””

““We can organise companies within a particular search [that then] updates us when something changes, whether that be investors or employees, or a particular milestone — all of that’s really valuable.””

““ It’s all on one central platform. You don’t have to go to Companies House and other sites for the data. It’s all there, and it allows you to track things in a really kind of simplistic way. ””

““Beauhurst gives us extra information that we wouldn’t have if we didn’t have the tool and allows us to make sure that we’re covering the whole market.””

““ The data that is provided on a daily basis that keeps us updated with news and information on particular companies is really valuable. ””

“Beauhurst helps us deliver targeted business support service. I can now easily identify companies and make them aware of programmes and initiatives, or simply invite them to the events we deliver.”

“We were looking for a platform with improved quality and a more friendly user interface, and Beauhurst ticks all those boxes.”

“When we’re looking for specific industries in a particular area, Beauhurst is ideal.”

““ Beauhurst has played a key part in helping us to augment our CRM and have a single source of truth, discovering companies and fundraisers that would have otherwise gone under our radar. ””

““ The data quality and depth we get through Beauhurst is really important to us and helps us hit the bar that we need to hit. ””
