Review Mode has just had a glow up ✨. You can now keep track of what you’ve done, seen and thought by adding tags and removing companies from your collection  🔍.

• Why not create a “Reviewed” tag so that you can filter your collections more easily and never lose your place.
• Does a company not fit what you’re looking for in a collection? Remove it by simply clicking on the “Remove” action 🗑.

We’ve just launched a new experimental dataset, allowing our All Company Data subscribers to search across more than 300,000 company descriptions (8x our current number of tracked businesses).

• Effortlessly discover relevant companies that match your keyword searches
• Understand prospective clients and partners in their own words, before deciding if they are worth pursuing 
• Go beyond the existing Beauhurst-tracked companies to find UK businesses of all sizes, stages and sectors

How it works

We gather each description from the company’s website, allowing businesses to express themselves in their own words. These descriptions are then filtered with an algorithm, to ensure only the most descriptive and helpful ones make it onto the platform.

How you can use it

If we hold a description from a website, you’ll find it on the “Basic Details” tab of a company page.

This gives you a richer understanding of the businesses you are interested in. For example, before today, we would have known Chillchain Ltd is in the road freight business (thanks to its SIC code), its financials, and where it is based. But, until now, we didn’t know about its European coverage, its logistics platform, or its refrigerated offerings.

By combining keyword search with the other data we hold on these 300k companies, you can also zero in on the businesses that are most interesting to you, such as finding other refrigerated road freight businesses.

Currently, you can search these descriptions using the standalone “Description from company website” criteria in Advanced Search.

Experimental data

Our samples suggest high accuracy and reliability, whilst still providing significant scale at over 300k descriptions, but we are releasing this data under a new experimental flag. You will start to see this experimental icon around the platform, as we work to get new datasets in your hands faster.

With this new approach to data collection and processing, we want to ensure we have the right balance between scale and quality, so we look forward to hearing your thoughts. Your feedback means we can iterate and improve our data more rapidly too. Win win!

Who can use it

This data is available to all subscribers of our All Company Data add-on. If you don’t have access to this just yet, get in touch with your Account Manager today!

We’ve made the Beauhurst Quick Search bar at the top of every page more powerful to help you find what you need.

‘Fuzzy search’ will return results for text that match a term closely instead of exactly. Fuzzy searches help you find relevant results even when the search terms are missing the right characters. For example, if you misspelled ‘Beauhurst ‘as ‘Both hurst’ your results will be:

This means if you only loosely know the name of the company, fund, or person, we can do a better job at returning what you’re looking for.

In addition, if you miss or add Limited, LTD, PLC, hyphens or spaces to your search, we’ll still have a good idea of what you’re searching for based on the other characters in the search.

Happy searching! 🔍

With our latest feature addition, we’ve made it easier for you to see if your colleagues are interested in a company 🔮. Your collections and those shared by your colleagues are now visible in a company summary. You can use this panel to understand how your team views a company via their tags 🏷, as well as adding, removing or changing your own tags right from the company page.

Now that you can see if a company is in a shared collection and adjust your tags from the company page. Why not

• Tag a company as interesting or contacted, so your colleagues can avoid repeating your work
• Share a collection of key prospects, so your team know which companies to focus on
• Add a “seen” tag on the company page so you know which collection items you’ve reviewed

From here you can view your colleagues' tags, or add/adjust your own tags for that company.

If your team have included a company in a variety of shared collections, you can expand the view to see them all.

You may have seen our similar companies algorithm on a tracked company page. It uses machine learning to analyse the meaning of a company description and find other tracked companies with similar descriptions, even if they aren’t described with the same words.

Following client feedback, we have released two new features for Advanced Search today that build on our existing similar companies feature to help you find relevant companies even if they don’t fall neatly into existing criteria. 

Discover similar companies in Advanced Search

Now you can include similar companies as a criteria in advanced search and combine it with any other data. 

• Find client competitors so that you can keep track of them. 
• Find similar companies to your clients and prospect towards them, building a sector niche for your business.
• Find funds investing in similar companies to your clients so that you can find sources of funding and benchmark deals.

In Advanced Search for companies, you can find it in “Further Details > Description is similar to”

By default, you can enter a company name and we will find companies like that one.

Explore niche or emerging sectors

If you don’t have a specific company in mind, you can switch to “a description like…” to type in a description of your own. This is great for finding niche groups of companies that don’t fit into the existing sector or buzzword categorisations. Below we are able to quickly find “fire safety equipment” companies that are scaling up rapidly without needing to build a complex combination of sectors and exact keyword matches.

NB: This type of search uses the context of the words in the search term so works best using sentences rather than a list of unassociated keywords. 

To properly ring in the new year we’ve launched a new data point to help you keep track of companies that are actively hiring. 

• Find clients that are likely to be in the market for recruitment services and technology
• Approach existing and potential clients with more knowledge of their business 
• Use it as an indicator for the general health of a company

Understand

You can find the actively hiring status on the “Basic Details” tab of a company page, in the Status box.

Discover

It’s also available in Advanced Search and can be combined with other search attributes to help you find companies most relevant to you.

Export

This data is also available in CSV exports, whether you want to further analyse the data or combine it with other sources. You can find it under the “Activity” category when you export a CSV from the company, collection and advanced search pages.

Find out more about how we generate this data in our FAQs.

If you’ve got access to the Beauhurst Networks add-on, you can already add people you know to “My Network” and use those connections to your advantage around the platform.

Today we’ve made uploading contacts and managing connections easier.

Uploading contacts is faster and clearer

The matching process is much faster. Even if you upload thousands of contacts, it’ll take a fraction of the time.

On the match result screen, the “not matched” category has been split into two. Now you’ll see who returned no matches, and who returned too many matches (for example where a person has a common name and no other information).

You can also download these results so you know which contacts you need to provide more information for.

Quickly know who to add to your Network

Contacts we’ve matched on the platform go into your Suggested Connections list. We’ve made this list easier to manage.

First, the table shows you the “match confidence” for each suggestion, based on the amount of unique identifying information provided. If it’s high, that means the suggestion is almost certainly the right person. If it’s medium, there’s a good chance. If it’s low, you should make sure before you add them. 

The table also shows you how many 2nd degree connections you’ll gain if you add a suggested connection to your Network, allowing you to focus on the connections with the biggest benefits to you.

Easily add and manage suggested connections

You can now save time by adding, hiding, or removing many suggested connections at once.

Finally, you can now filter, sort, and search the table of suggested connections, so you can focus on the best people to add to your Network.

Add your contacts

We have added even more ways to dig into company location data to discover and understand the businesses most relevant to you. 

Search across postcode fragments

You can now search across the following postcode formats

• Full Postcode (HG4 1QT)
• Postcode sector (e.g HG4 1)
• Postcode district (e.g HG4)
• Postcode area (HG)

You could use postcode fragments to better understand districts within regions such as Manchester’s Northern Quarter (M1 &  M4) 

Or even use an exact postcode to find all companies operating in a specific office block. 

Search within a radius of a postcode

You can also search within a radius of a specific postcode which can be helpful if you want to learn more about companies near a place of interest or economic centre not well defined by existing district data. 

These features work across all our address types including the new trading and registered address search we added recently. (See here if you missed that announcement). They can also be combined with all existing search criteria you are used to. 

Check out the latest options by selecting the “Location” criteria in Advanced Search.

If you've got access to the Beauhurst Networks add-on, then you should already be aware that you can mark people across the high-growth space as known to you. Through this, you can unveil a huge number of second-degree connections. Now, we've turbocharged this feature, allowing you to see how your colleagues are connected to people, too.

Understanding a connection

Wherever you see a person attached to a tracked company around the platform you’ll also see if you or your colleagues are connected to them. The hollow network symbol shows when your closest connection is via a colleague’s network

Click on a person’s profile to see how you are connected to them. As your network grows, you may often find you are connected to individuals through multiple colleagues and intermediate connections. We visualise this to help you cut through the complexity and find the most valuable way to make first contact.

Search across connections

You can also leverage your expanded network using Advanced Search in combination with any other search criteria to help you narrow down target companies, people, funds, and more, to those that someone in your business has an existing relationship with.

Build out your network

Building out your network on Beauhurst is now more valuable than ever as both you and your colleagues benefit each other.
