How to search for people

Building lists of key people, directors and shareholders

Updated this week

Note: This functionality is available for subscribers with our Networks Feature. To find out more about this add on, please contact your Account Manager who will be happy to help.

We have 3 types of people available to search over on Beauhurst:

  1. Directors: pulled through from Companies House, and available on every company

  2. Key people (c-suite): researched by our Data Team, and available on tracked companies

  3. Shareholders: pulled through from Companies House, and searchable for shareholders at tracked companies (although we do have CAP tables available for all companies on their Ownership tabs)

For every type of person, you can narrow down your searches based on:

  • Data about them as a person e.g. age, gender, nationality, and estimated paper wealth

  • Data about their involvement in the company e.g. job title, percentage of shareholding, appointment date

  • Data about the companies themselves e.g. location, sector, stage


Key person example search

Looking for Chief Financial Officers at companies that have secured fundraising

Head to our Advanced Search, and click:

  1. Add person criteria -> is a key person in a company where -> is currently active

2. Add company position criteria -> job function = finance

3. Add company position criteria -> person is in a company where -> signals = equity fundraising

Final search


Director example search

Looking for directors over the age of 50 in a growth stage company

  1. Add person criteria -> age (where known) = at least 50

2. Add person criteria -> holds a directorship where -> is currently active

3. Add directorship criteria -> directorship is in a company where -> current stage of evolution = growth

Final search


Shareholder example search

Looking for high net worth individuals with at least 5 shareholdings worth an estimated £10 million in total

  1. Add person criteria -> estimated paper wealth in shareholdings = £10 million

2. Add person criteria -> has a shareholding where -> is currently active

3. Change the white box which says 'any' to 'at least'. Type 5 into the box which appears.
