Beyond Limits Known, generally styled as BLK, is a sportswear clothing company, which was established in 2011 in the city of Labrador, Queensland, Australia. The brand opened its office in Australia in 1999. The company had a dual base, with one head office in Teesside, North East England and the other based in Labrador.^[4]

Beyond Limits Known evolved from the Australian arm of the brand KooGa in 2011, after KooGa entered into administration globally before being picked up by JD Sports. Australian founder and current chairman, Kim Brant, re-branded KooGa Australia to "BLK" (Beyond Limits Known) in 2011 and severed the ties with JD Sports. The KooGa and BLK brands are now competitors in the sportswear industry.

BLK have since expanded globally with offices in Australia (QLD, NSW, SA, WA, VIC) and the UK. They also have distributors in the following countries: France; Ireland; Japan; Malaysia; New Zealand; Papua New Guinea; Solomon Islands; South Africa; United Arab Emirates and United States. ^[5]
