Amara.com which was established in 2005 was sold in a pre-pack for £2m to the Frasers Group who own House of Fraser and Sofa.com.
Leading up to the sale Amara had sales of £18m, but suffered a trading loss of nearly £3m, they secured emergency funding in September last year but this failed to stem the tide with administration following at the end of November.
Unsecured creditors were owed over £7m at the time of administration, with over £200k of customer deposits.
