ART UNLIMITED

Art Unlimited understands that the sofa is the focal point of a home, where friends and families spend most of their free time when at home. As such, they are working hard to get the best deals to bring the best sofa into your home. Before starting Art Unlimited, Director Ajay worked as Purchase Manager for an Irish furniture import and wholesale company, where his main responsibility was to deal with all suppliers from China and Thailand.

Having had close relationships with said suppliers, Ajay approached them to start his own company, Art Unlimited. To start, the suppliers were happy for him to take a few of the goods they had in transit to a company which had recently liquidated. From here, the relationship with the suppliers continued, with Ajay expanding his imports to continue broadening his sofa and bed sales in both the UK and Ireland.

True to their sofa focus, the company started selling leather sofas only. In the first year of trading, the company had a turnover of £80K due to their small product line. To increase turnover, fabric sofas and upholstered beds, for which there is a high demand in the furniture market, were introduced to the product range.

Their hard work with home furnishing doesn't stop with the sofa, as Art Unlimited also import mattresses at better prices for their retail clients, who can then sell said mattresses at brilliant prices to their customers.

As such, their second financial year saw the company turnover £1.1 million. Now, Art Unlimited are getting even further demand for mattresses to go along with their upholstered beds.

To meet this demand, Ajay has set up a procurement process with their suppliers, choosing different ranges of mattresses at negotiated prices. As such, the company now needs the extra funding purchase said mattresses.
