Arlo & Bear Ltd

Arlo & Bear Ltd is a small, active company based in Towcester, UK, founded three years ago. It’s a solo venture, run by a single director and owner, Harriet Mumford, and employs just one person. The company’s assets total a modest £434, and it operates an e-commerce site specializing in the retail sale via mail order houses or via internet.

The website, Charlie Bears Direct, showcases a wide range of collectible teddy bears and stuffed toys, with a strong presence in the US, UK, Australia, and Germany. It’s clear the company is focused on a niche market, offering exclusive brands and limited-edition bears, with a current promotion offering a free surprise bear with purchases over $50. The site also features a "Cuddle Time" collection, highlighting new additions and anniversary bears, and even offers gift certificates and a club membership.

Financially, Arlo & Bear Ltd’s numbers are… small. Current assets are just £1, and net assets are the same. Cash on hand is also a mere £1. Bank borrowings are zero, and trade debtors are non-existent. While the company’s small size (meeting two of three criteria for a small company) allows for agility, the extremely low asset base raises questions. The lack of employees (just one reported) suggests a very lean operation. As a small company, it's exempt from an audit, so the figures are unaudited.

It’s likely the company is reinvesting any profits back into the business, perhaps to secure inventory or expand its marketing efforts. The lack of significant debt is a positive sign, but the extremely low asset base will need to grow for the business to be sustainable long term.
