Dragons Den: Rotamate Wins £85,000

Roger Hind entered the Dragons Den tonight and I bet he didn’t expect to start a fight.

He was selling his product, the rotamate, a washing line that protects your clothes from the rain, and the birds! Roger was asking for £85,000 for a 15% share in his business. Richard Farleigh declared at an early stage that he would be prepared to offer half the money for about 15% of the business, but when Deborah Meaden offered half the money for 20% of the business Richard changed his mind and decided to ask for the same.

The other Dragons were enraged, Peter Jones and Theo Paphitas even went as far as to advise Roger not to take the deal.

But Roger was desperate for the cash, and the expertise, so he accepted the offer on the table and ended up giving away 40% of his company for £85,000.

Dragons Dens: Duncan Bannatyne Invests In Razzamataz Theatre School

Dragons DenDenise Hutton entered the Dragons Den tonight along with 4 children from her theatre school, who proceeded to perform the school jingle.

Denise currently owns 4 Razzamataz theatre schools and has franchised out 6 other branches. Denise was asking the Dragons for £50,000 in exchange for 25% of her business.

The Dragons were impressed by Denise’s pitch but were unsure of what she needed the £50,000 for. She first claimed she could use it to lend to potential franchisees, then changed her mind and said she could use it for marketing.

This seemed to scare off Deborah Meaden, Theo Paphitis and Peter Jones, and Richard Farleigh jumped ship because he thought that Razzamataz faced too big a competitor in Stagecoach.

However Duncan Bannantyne waited until the last final moment to reveal that he had in fact invested in Stagecoach and had sold his investment on for quite a large profit. He shockingly failed to haggle with Denise and offered her the full £50,000 for 25% of the business.

Duncan closed the show by saying:

“How could I haggle? It’ll be a fantastic little business”.

“I’m releasing it as a download and I’m giving all the money to Comic Relief.”

Levi has been amazed at the reaction to him since his appearance on the show, and he was bowled over when he was offered a deal with Sainsburys, who want to stock the sauce. Continue reading ‘Dragons Den: Levi Roots Releases Reggae Reggae Sauce The Single!‘ »

Dragons Den: Supermarkets Fight To Stock Reggae Reggae Sauce!

Dragons DenThe People reported today that the biggest supermarket chains in the UK are fighting over the chance to be the first store to stock Levi Root’s Reggae Reggae sauce.

Levi approached the millionaires of BBC’s Dragons Den recently in a bid to attract some money to mass produce his spicy sauce. However since the show aired supermakrets have been inundated with requests for the sauce and the word is that Tesco will stock it soon and Sainsbury’s table sauce buyer Nick Paddison said: “We are in the final stage of talks.”

Well done Levi. I don’t know if it was the catchy tune he sang to the judge, or his fabulous presentation, but my mouth was certainly watering after listening to his pitch. I will be the first in line to get the sauce when my local Tescos gets it in!

Dragons Den: Dragons Want The iTeddy!

Dragons DenImran Hakim was seen approaching the Dragons last night asking for £140,000 for a 15% share of iTeddy. Imran has designed a cuddly teddy bear that contains an MP4 player inside, that will play cartoons and read bedtime stories to children.

Although Imran had yet to obtain a patent, both Theo Paphitis and Peter Jones saw an opportunity too good to miss and offered Imran all the money for 22.5% each.

After failing to get a better deal from Richard Farleigh or Deborah Meaden due to his cuurent lack of patent, Imran managed to talk Theo and Peter down to £70,000 for 20% of iTeddy. A good deal I think.

Ling Valentine Turns Down Money On Dragons Den

Ling Valentine stunned the resident Dragons on BBC2 when she turned down their offer to fund her business growth.

Ling asked the Dragons for £50,00, which she intended to spend on marketing her car leasing business, in return for a 5% share of her company.

Duncan Bannatyne and Richard Farley were impressed with Ling’s pitch but felt that for £50,000 they would need more of a share in her business. They offered her the full amount for 10% of her company each.

Ling stood her ground and walked away with nothing rather than give up 20% of her company…….you have to admire that sort of determination, I dare say Ling will go far in the world of business!
