Customer Stories — How Making Moves Uses Beauhurst as a One-Stop Shop for All Business Data

Making Moves is a real estate consultancy based in London. They advise businesses (and now residential buyers) on searching for, relocating, fitting out, releasing, or disposing of office space — and recently expanded into helping private clients secure homes — offering impartial, start-to-finish support.

Access to comprehensive data

Beauhurst provides easily compiled and accessible information about businesses in the UK and Europe, particularly those securing fundraising.

Enabling efficiency

Unlike piecing together information from multiple sources, such as LinkedIn or news websites, Beauhurst offers a one-stop platform with accurate and up-to-date information.

Supporting sales strategy

The platform helps them to target growing businesses, track clients’ funding progression, and create strategic touchpoints with potential clients.

Relationship building

Beauhurst allows them to follow companies from pre-seed stages through successive funding rounds, enabling long-term relationship development.

Before using Beauhurst, Making Moves was focusing on real estate consultancy, but saw opportunities to improve their sales intelligence and business targeting. Researching companies involved manually pulling information from scattered sources — including LinkedIn, internet searches, and news sites — which could be time-consuming and inefficient.

The real estate consultancy firm was also looking to better track growing businesses and their funding progression, but lacked a streamlined way to profile potential opportunities. “We were always looking to hone our skills,” Alex, Business Developer at Making Moves, told us. Enter, Beauhurst.

“All-in-one” data platform for comprehensive data insights

For the team at Making Moves, Beauhurst provides a centralised, comprehensive intelligence platform that transforms how they can access and use company data.

By utilising our platform’s aggregated fundraising, growth, and sector data, the team at Making Moves is able to quickly identify and understand potential opportunities across multiple industries. “Beauhurst is above and beyond all the other sources; it’s really easily compiled and accessible in one place,” Alex explained. With Beauhurst, the Making Moves team can access comprehensive business insights in a single platform.

Enhanced sales outreach using data to find new client opportunities

With Beauhurst, Making Moves discovered a powerful approach to business development.

“We utilise reports specifically looking at businesses in the UK and Europe who have secured fundraising,” Alex explained. Beauhurst allows the Making Moves team to track companies from their earliest stages, creating strategic opportunities for engagement.

By providing detailed insights into growing businesses, Beauhurst transformed its sales approach from reactive to proactive.

“We’ve secured year-on-year business with clients who started as small two or three-person teams and have gone through successive rounds of funding,” Alex said, telling us how the team can now uncover and nurture potential client relationships using Beauhurst.

Better relationship building with easy access to company updates

Furthermore, Beauhurst completely changed Making Moves’ approach to client relationship management.

“It’s about frequent touchpoints,” Alex told us, explaining how the platform enables the continuous engagement that he and the rest of the business development team undertake.

By providing real-time updates on company growth, funding, and developments, Beauhurst allows businesses like Making Moves to maintain meaningful connections with potential and existing clients.

“Some of our clients who were once just a few people will come back around after two years, now ready for our services,” Alex continued. And thanks to access to the Beauhurst platform, Beauhurst’s comprehensive data insights can support long-term relationship building and strategic business growth.

• Business growth — Secured significant new client opportunities
• Sales efficiency — Reduced time spent on manual research
• Client relationship expansion — Supported clients through their growth journey

By leveraging Beauhurst’s comprehensive business intelligence, Making Moves transformed its sales approach and client engagement strategy.

“We’ve secured a lot of new business,” Alex explained. The ability to identify and target growing businesses became a game-changer, allowing the real estate consultancy to create strategic touchpoints and maintain long-term client relationships.

The results were profound across their sales process. “Many of our clients who were once two or three people have now grown significantly,” Alex noted, demonstrating how Beauhurst provided insights that went beyond traditional research methods.

By offering a “one-stop shop for everything that’s happening,” the platform helped Making Moves generate year-on-year business, reduce manual research time, and develop a more sophisticated approach to client acquisition.

“I can’t imagine what we’d do without it,” Alex reflected. Beauhurst has become a critical role in their business development strategy. The platform didn’t just provide data — it became an essential tool for understanding and supporting scaling businesses.
