Pending Deals FAQ

Understanding what deal status means, particularly the pending deal status, for fundraisings, acquisitions and other transactions

Updated over a week ago

What is a pending deal?

We now collect and publish incomplete transactions.

This is any deal that is in the process of being completed, or has been cancelled.

These transactions now appear as soon as we discover them, not weeks later, signalling live opportunities earlier.

How do we define the different event statuses?

Every applicable transaction published on Beauhurst now carries one of four dynamic statuses:

  • Completed – Closed deals

  • Pending – Confirmed but not yet completed

  • Dormant – No activity for 12+ months

  • Cancelled – Confirmed to have fallen through

What are the benefits of collecting pending deals?

By collecting pending deals, this allows you to:

  • Identify and track incomplete deals earlier than you could before, dramatically boosting your ability to react to these deals as they come through.

  • Unlock earlier-stage intelligence across M&A, fundraising, IPOs, spinouts, and grants.

  • Gain deeper insight into deals that stall, slip, or fall through the cracks.

How does this look on the Platform?

To search for a pending deal, you can select Status, and choose the pending option.

On the deal itself, you’ll see it’s status clearly displayed - you’ll also see this on the company profile.
