Beauhurst review
A focused research database for UK and German company, people, fund and transaction data.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Beauhurst is a private-company data platform for researching businesses in the UK and Germany. It is designed for investors, government agencies, banks, advisory firms, universities and sales teams that need company, funding, transaction and leadership information in one searchable workspace. Users can search company profiles, people, founders, directors, shareholders, funds and transactions, with advanced filters across these areas. Funding, grants, financials, news and transaction history add context for evaluating private businesses.
The platform’s research workflow extends beyond one-off searches. Collections let teams save company lists for monitoring, while email alerts notify users about new companies and company activity. CSV and PDF exports support reporting and sharing, and the REST API provides access to company, people, news and transaction data. HubSpot and Salesforce integrations make Beauhurst more suitable for organisations that need to connect research with CRM workflows. These capabilities give it a wider operational role than a simple company directory, particularly for structured research and pipeline work.
Pricing is contact-sales and the published pricing page states that Beauhurst does not offer a free plan or free trials. That makes it better suited to organisations with a defined research, intelligence or business-development budget than to individual users seeking a low-commitment database. Its regional focus is also important: teams researching UK and German private companies are the clearest fit, while buyers needing broader geographic coverage should consider a wider database instead. Choose Beauhurst for its combination of company intelligence, monitoring, exports, API access and CRM connectivity; avoid it if public self-serve pricing, free access or a broader regional scope is essential.
