Duncan Doesn’t Like Theo’s Bartering Tactics | Dragons’ Den

Duncan's a no-nonsense guy.

But the flip side of thtat is he has a lot of time for honest, hardworking people with decent ideas, especially young people, and will come to their defence if he feels other dragons are bullying them or trrying to hustle them into unfair deals. He was even relatively patient with Derek of flow signals fame, who seemed like a decent and well-meaning, if hopeless, person. For a while anyway.

Theo, despite his size, really thinks he is cock of true walk! Yes, she probably should have done a little research but asking someone to demonstrate why they’re valuable to the business is completely legit. She was indeed naive to include the fixed asset of land within the deal but perhaps suggested that because of the limited projections, and therefore, needed something to induce an offer. Either way, 50,000 as a silent partner was a steal, even if it does take a few years to recoup - specific businesses like this will always earn, just perhaps not as much as a regular business. I’m pretty sure there is a Dragons Den video called “flawless pitch” or something similar; I think this girl is more deserving.
