Beauhurst, a private company data provider startup, has raised £7 million in funding from Palatine Growth Credit. Beauhurst provides in-depth intelligence on every private company in the UK and Germany, with its platform used by major UK banks, Big Four advisory firms, legal firms, government departments, and other organisations.
Founded in 2010, Beauhurst delivers detailed, accessible, decision-grade data on private companies to help businesses drive growth, strengthen customer relationships, and inform strategic decisions such as acquisitions and international expansion. Full coverage of five million companies in Germany has already been established, with expansion into Ireland underway and France, Spain, and Italy expected to follow.
Operations currently span Nottingham, London, and Berlin, supporting the next stage of expansion across Europe. The funding, alongside existing backing from angel investor Charlie Songhurst and Berggruen Holdings, supports Beauhurst’s ambition to become a leading provider of private markets data and intelligence across the region.
Palatine’s Growth Credit Fund, launched in 2024, is designed to support maturing, high-growth companies in the UK regions without requiring founders to give up further equity. The strategy focuses on businesses achieving double-digit year-on-year revenue growth and aims to deliver above market-rate returns while supporting social and environmental improvements.
This funding marks an important milestone for Beauhurst as we accelerate our European expansion. Our goal is to make high-quality, decision-grade data on every private company accessible and actionable. With Palatine’s support, we’re well positioned to scale that aim internationally.
Beauhurst has built a market-leading platform that delivers genuinely actionable insights to its customers. Having personally used Beauhurst over a number of years, I've seen first-hand the value that the depth and accuracy of the data can bring to sourcing and researching transaction opportunities. We are delighted to support the business.
Beauhurst has shown strong growth, clear competitive differentiation, and ambitious European expansion strategy make it an outstanding fit for our Growth Credit fund. We’re over the moon to support the team as they expand their footprint and establish themselves as a leader in European private markets data.
