The Midlanders have already brought in six players since sealing promotion from the Championship with Cardiff defender Roger Johnson the latest in a £5million deal.
But Sullivan is adamant the spending spree will continue ahead of the new season which begins in mid-August.
Sullivan told the club's official website: "Thursday's signing (Johnson) was our sixth signing to date and we are not finished yet.
"We anticipate that there will be an additional three signings coming to the club over the next two to four weeks as we are already in the advanced stages of negotiations with both the players and their clubs.
"Whilst we realise there is an enormous difference between the Championship and the Premier League, we are trying to build a team that can help us retain Premier League status.
"It will be a team that combines older players with years of Premier League experience along with the best young talent around both in the UK and overseas."
