BusinessTikTok Shop Empowers Young British Entrepreneurs
In Darlington, England, Funky Fidgets, a sensory-toy shop founded by 11-year-old Alex during the COVID-19 pandemic, thrives by selling toys online. The business ships worldwide and employs 14 staff. TikTok Shop, a platform enabling in-app purchases, drives most of Funky’s orders. Around 300,000 small UK businesses use TikTok Shop, with many joining recently. Britain’s high street decline and consumer interest in live commerce have boosted this trend.
