In 2017, Tayo Adebisi started selling seasonal toys, gifts, food hampers, sports goods, and electrical items online as part of her brand TilzMart. What began as a small side project quickly revealed potential for double digit growth. After her store sold out on multiple occasions, Adebisi realised that her hobby could grow into an international business. But ambition alone wouldn’t take it global, she also needed export support.
So Adebisi started with free online training, learning about exporting processes and regulations. By 2019, her operation was large enough to require a warehouse and by 2020, she was turning over £1m.
