Ben Brown Fine Art Limited

Ben Brown Fine Art Limited, based in London, UK, is a small, active company established 21 years ago. With a virtual address and 10 employees, the company holds £23,709,634 in assets. It’s led by four directors and a solo founder, Brown Benjamin Haddon Dunster, who also owns the business. The company regularly imports and exports art and antiques, with 39 months of import activity and 113 months of export activity recorded.

The company's website showcases a curated selection of exhibitions and artist representations. It doesn't appear to be a direct e-commerce platform, but rather a gallery space promoting artists and events. The website highlights exhibitions featuring artists like Alighiero e Boetti, Yoan Capote, Lucio Fontana, and Michelangelo Pistoletto, alongside collaborations with institutions like Prada Rong Zhai and the Whitworth. It also features news and publications, including a box of cards celebrating Candida Hfer's 20 years with the gallery.

Financially, Ben Brown Fine Art Limited’s recent report reveals some interesting trends. While current assets increased by 20% to £24 million, net assets decreased significantly by 30% to -£2 million. Bank borrowings have surged dramatically, increasing by 430% to £18 million, while cash reserves remained steady at £500,000. Trade debtors have also increased by 30%, suggesting a possible need to manage customer payments more effectively. The company’s small size (meeting two of three criteria for turnover under £10.2m, assets under £5.1m, and fewer than 50 employees) means it’s likely exempt from a full audit, so the figures are unaudited.

The increase in bank borrowings, despite a rise in assets, suggests the company may be investing heavily in new exhibitions or acquisitions—or perhaps facing increased operational costs. It’s a bit of a puzzle, really, and the lack of an auditor makes it difficult to get a clearer picture.
