Irish company data is now live on Beauhurst, joining the UK and Germany as our third market. Now, you can find, research, and track Irish private companies in exactly the same place, and in exactly the same way, as companies in other countries.
This launch started with our clients. Many sell into Ireland, invest there, or advise businesses with operations on both sides of the Irish Sea. Until now, that meant switching between Beauhurst and a separate Irish-only or global data source, with different fields, different definitions, and no way to see a group’s UK and Irish companies side by side. We wanted to remove that friction.
So we’ve built Irish coverage properly. That means more than just loading the register. We’ve added the analysis, classification, and linking that make the data genuinely useful.
What’s on the platform
The full Irish register
Every active company registered with the Companies Registration Office (CRO), Ireland’s equivalent of Companies House, is on the platform. That’s more than 280k businesses, the entire Irish market.
Each profile carries the core registry record: company details and NACE industry code, directors, shareholders, filed financials, and the full CRO filing history, from annual returns to director changes and registered office moves. Our profit and loss coverage for Ireland is stronger than for the UK on most fields.
Registry data is the foundation every Irish data provider works from, what sets our data apart is what we build on top of it.
Enhanced data
Industry classification
Our Irish data includes industries that reflect what companies actually do, rather than relying on NACE codes. Today, around 40% of Irish companies have no NACE code, and many more sit in a catch-all “Other” category. We’ve applied the same Beauhurst industries and buzzwords we use in the UK and Germany to Ireland to solve the problem. Company descriptions are searchable too, so you can define a niche market by keyword or phrase.
Growth and Innovation signals
We track the events that show a company is going somewhere: fundraisings, acquisitions, management buyouts, IPOs, academic spin-outs, accelerator attendance, high-growth list appearances, granted patents, and R&D grants. Every signal works as a search filter, so you can find Irish companies that have raised investment, spun out of a university, or hold patents in a few clicks.
Risk signals
County court judgments appear on Irish company timelines, with the date, amount owed in euros, and status. Use them to flag distress before you invest or partner, or to spot businesses that may need advice.

True Companies
Discover the real business behind the registrations with our True Companies model. It groups related legal entities into the business they belong to, using corporate structures and shareholdings. You can see a group’s Irish and UK companies side by side, including the Irish arms of international groups.
A platform built for action
Accessing data on Irish companies in Beauhurst allows you to UK, Ireland, and Germany together with the same filters. You can save companies to Collections and get alerts when something changes, push lists into your CRM, and match Irish records by CRO number even when a company trades under a different name.
This will keep getting better. We’re continuously working on adding new data and functionality for Ireland, as we do for the UK and Germany.
