Top 3 Times Entrepreneurs Didn’t Want To Disclose Information | Dragons' Den 

She's a sympathetic dragon . Meaning she will offer a good deal when someone needs it and all others are out.

Agreed. She seems like a lovely, warm person.

She's also in a better shape and with a much more remarkable fashion sense than in her first seasons. Which has nothing to do with anything but it's heartwarming to see anyway.

She's losing money

She’s my favourite to be honest

Yes, the way she clung to her accountant's advice rather than take a punt with people who could have boosted her business and were clearly interested, or at worst, made her life a lot more fun, is beyond me. I don't know what exactly she was expecting to be offered. A solid product and lots of money behind her, but a boring pedestrian approach. If I'd had the opportunity to go into business with this lady, I think it would have been an uphill struggle arguing with her and her "accountant" - sadly!

Later she said she didn't understand it. Actually she didn't even listen the buyback part after she heard 40% which gives an idea about her business acumen.

I don’t think she understood the offer

@@simplicityseekeronroadthat happens when you don’t listen. She was so fixated on the high initial percentage that she didn’t allow herself to ‘understand’ the very simple conditions

I wonder of she had other investors and could give more than 25%

They often match each other offers.

Yes makes me think that if a lady like this can make a business with 250k-1M$ net profit per year then I can too

Jo was a butt.

Looks like what she really wanted was some free advertisement

Proper

a lot of people if you have net 3mln annually, then dragons dont care about other information

Taxes. She is obviously using accountants to minimize taxes, it’s a liability to mention the finances on television.

Sometimes they don't go in with any plan to raise capital. It's a free advert.

It means nothing without all of the figures. ​@@UnknownUnrecognized

@@iaprmya

Right. She developed a product (that according to all of them tastes awesome), developed a brand, managed supply and distribution...and these greedy bastards want 30% of her work for peanuts?! Good for her for sticking to her guns!

@@michaelkupfer372370% of something is better than 100% of nothing. 2024 the business is 100k in debt, although she is quite successful based on other ventures.

​@@michaelkupfer3723She's crazy for rejecting Sarah's offer. It was an amazing offer and you could clearly see she got completely hung up on the 40% and stopped listening to anything after that. Later on she even said that she didn't understand it. That should tell you a lot about her bussiness acumen. Bad decisions all around

@@tomekk.1889 yeah, bad decisions. This is how she runs a multi-million business. Are you kidding me, give almost half of your work for 50 K, when this means millions in the future?

​@prody666 She admitted she didn't need the money and was in there for the expertise of the dragons, so for her to turn down that based on a difference of 5% when she's been so open about not needing the money, is just a poor decision. She's clearly got a lot of good going for her but this experience wasn't one if her better moments.

Lol

They will tell if they will break or abide by their NDA.

"The other investors are really good people and totally trustworthy, that's all you need to know"

Everybody is trustworthy. Until they're not.

Not go on Dragons Den

If you’re unwilling or unable to disclose information, don’t go on a TV show when you know (or should know) that you’re going to be asked about it. The TV element isn’t a surprise to them.

Whats to explain. Its obvious.

Ask her?

I think she understood it. I think, at that point, she was feeling regret. Saying she didn’t understand the offer, with that little smirk was a desperate attempt at getting the offer back on the table…

Didn’t think of it that way that’s possible for sure

It's on BBC and BBC iplayer, so maybe with a vpn you could?

On TV? No I dont think so

You can find it free online 123 series

Shark tank is so fake and over the top. Our original version is much better

Yeah I agree, I stopped watching Shark tank for this reason...the reason Shark Tank is that way is because it's how the general U.S population prefers television.

It's what her advisor suggested so she wants to listen to them because they are the expert. She doesn't want to risk the unknown by going against the expert who she paid to manage her money.

If she has filed a patent application then all the details are public information. She obviously does not understand the system. That would worry me.

You can't on Dragon's Den. Everything has to be on air

Yes ,any time they don't hug or shake hands is because of covid

they have no obligations to keep it secret, hence why peter just said it

Dragons aren't legally bound to not reveal the information. Theyd just bkurt it out, I've seen do that before. The panel isnt your friend 😆 🤣 😂

@@brooklyndecember Interesting choice from them to be fair if I was looking to go into business with someone them doing something like that would harm the relationship before it even starts

Well done did you have to Google that?

​@@SaydeeEnward4500😂😂😂

You clearly have no idea how business works. These "dragons" try to keep the price of the buyin low, because they want to triple, quadruple their investment (to simply double it would be pointless, Peter Jones said that himself). But they don't respect the Ten thousands of pounds and countless manhours to develope a product, a brand, engange in production and distribution... no they want 30% for peanuts because they are greedy.

That's correct. Mechanics aren't surgeons.

Why
