<p>He was selling his product, the <a href="http://www.rotamate.co.uk/">rotamate</a>, a washing line that protects your clothes from the rain, and the birds! Roger was asking for Â£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.</p>
<p>The other Dragons were enraged, Peter Jones and Theo Paphitas even went as far as to advise Roger not to take the deal.</p>
<p>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 Â£85,000.</p>

<p>Denise currently owns 4 <a href="http://www.razzamataztheatreschools.co.uk/">Razzamataz theatre schools</a> and has franchised out 6 other branches. Denise was asking the Dragons for Â£50,000 in exchange for 25% of her business.</p>
<p>The Dragons were impressed by Denise&#8217;s pitch but were unsure of what she needed the Â£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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 Â£50,000 for 25% of the business.</p>
<p>Duncan closed the show by saying: </p>
<p>&#8220;How could I haggle? It&#8217;ll be a fantastic little business&#8221;. </p>

<p>So for all you wannabe inventors and entrepeneurs here are the things the millionaires are looking for:</p>
<p>"All we want is two simple things," Theo explained.</p>
<p>"First, for someone to come up with a good idea and to have done their homework. And also, to show that they're capable of managing their business. That's it.</p>
<p>"If they can do those simple things, they've got a hell of a chance of getting out of there with some cash."</p>
<p>Theo also admitted ot the Manchester Evening News that he was looking forward to working with his fellow Dragons again: "We all fit into the show reasonably well," he says.</p>
<p>"Although there's always friction when you try to invest, that's the nature of the show. I make my decisions based on very simple criteria - do I like the person, and secondly, is the idea good? If those two work, I'm in."</p>
<p>So there's what the millionaires are looking for......anybody willing to give it a go?</p>
