Dragons' Den
BBC's award winning Dragons' Den is the first and longest running business investment series, with a track record of backing future millionaires. In the coming months the production will be at the Growing Your Own Business Showcase to find the next generation; Britain's best entrepreneurs with the very latest creative ideas and pioneering products. If you're genuinely seeking investment for your business or invention, we'd like to hear from you.
The most recent series saw fifteen entrepreneurs receive offers of investment in the Den. After tense negotiations, Jason Roberts secured £150,000 to develop his innovative range of mobile phone and laptop protection products. Working alongside his Dragon business partners, Jason says he's about to sign an exclusive deal with one of the world's leading mobile phone manufacturers.
The programme has created some incredible business success stories over the years. Brixton based Levi Roots shared his secret recipe, Reggae Reggae Sauce, with the Dragons, in return for a £50,000 cash injection. Three years on, Levi now has eight sauces, international licensing deals and, he says, a business valued in the millions.
The rules are simple: entrepreneurs can ask for cash investment in return for equity in their business. However, they must get at least the amount they ask for or they will walk away with nothing. The Dragons want to invest in the very best that British business has to offer. They're prepared to listen to a pitch for any type of business but they have to believe that it will make money before they'll back it with their own cash.
If you think you've got what it takes to enter the Dragons' Den then visit B80 within Growing Your Own Business on 19 & 20 March.
