## Summary

Adore Beauty is facing claims from suppliers over delayed payments as it continues expanding its physical stores. One unnamed brand owner says the retailer owes $40,000 and has stopped responding to payment requests, while another says the company blamed delays on an invoice backlog during a switch to a new system. The report says there is no suggestion the company is deliberately avoiding payment.

The claims come as the ASX-listed retailer opens its 16th store and pursues a broader national retail presence. In a June announcement, Adore Beauty said it had increased its Commonwealth Bank facilities from $18.2 million to $25.2 million to support working capital and expansion. The company was valued at about $25 million, and has also had staff redundancies over the past two years.
