  • With a goal to become the biggest family snack food business in the UK by 2025, John Tague seeks an investment of £125,000 in return for 5% of his hand-cooked crisp business ‘Tags’. But will the Dragons be tempted over such a small equity stake?
    An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

      dragons can bring more to the table than just the money they have connections and they will share them because it benefits them
      if your business is doing ok and they know someone in the industry who they can put you into contact with THEY WILL because it benefits them to do so it brings more revenu into your buisness which means they make more money
      this is what alot of people dont realise the dragons dont run pump and dump operations loan sharking out money once they get a chunk of your buisness they treat it like there business and they will do everything to nurture and grow there investment to make it earn as much as it possibly can
      do they care specifically about your buisness no thats just a side effect but they have a interest in seeing your buisness succeed and you have a interest in suceeding too so it works out for both parties

      The issue they had was that he kept offering lower and lower numbers, the 10% was something deborah suggested not knowing peters point of view. Then after everyone else came in started with 15% together and then after he saw how bad an idea that was to suggest went up to 10% but the moment he failed to articulate what he wanted and just said 15% told Deborah and Peter that he really didn't want to give away equity. Also what the comments seem to forget is that he said 12.5% each but he'd want to buy them down to like 5% each which just isn't worth it.

And this is Sarah's specialty hands down. I can see why she was salty that she lost out to those two, especially Peter who specializes in telecommunications and not food and beverage. I wonder it Deborah anticipated Sarah's move and decided to join forces with Peter as the lesser of two evils.

      True, she offered 20% on condition that Peter would share, it was Peter that insisted on 30%, I know it's a starting point at 5% but 6x is just plain outrageous for a business with this traction. Sometimes staggers me the amount they offer for businesses without any track record, there's no consistency. I used to think the "Den" was the best but now I prefer Shark Tank, especially the Australian version. The investors are much more amenable, they are just as savvy but so much more pleasant when the way they handle people and the investments are huge compared to the Den. I've read too many stories about some of the investments on DD being changed into loans for Equity especially from James Caan. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1303097/Dragons-Den-winner-reveals-80k-promise-fact-loan--26-500-emerged.html After reading this and others relating to his "investments" I can't watch the episodes with him in it
