The company dissolved in 2017. Well done Duncan!

No evidence at Companies House that this deal ever went through.

[@elenawilliams32]

It didn't go through.

[@bilalha123]

60% 🤣🤣

[@bysbox1]

The deal probably didn’t get done and Duncan saved himself money from the dissolvency. I think I saw a stat where 60 or 70 percent of the investments don’t get done for one reason or another.

[@susanwaugh9711]

The deal apparently didn’t go ahead from the offset. It’s not that he would have saved himself, if he invested the business could have done well!

[@scienceevolves4417]

Around 70-75% is the figure you're looking for. So much for "closing the deal" by way of a handshake and doesn't it look good on tv? 😂

for better or worse, and there was alot of worse, they did take Duncan seriously. Plenty who would not have done,

[@freethinker69937]

The deal fell through after filming. The company dissolved in 2017. The husband now runs a business investment website.

[@DCXCIII]

and his qualifications for running a business investment site is not closing a deal on his own business that then dissolved a few years later?

[@olimot8081]

The dragons were unnecessarily rude!

[@1Animeculture]

They were amazing.

[@caitlinhart1870]

They were not. Little did they know they were talking to 2 child abusing parents🥺

[@aidankelly840]

Why do they say Tk Peter When they say there out

[@SiriusMined]

Theo, if they are selling to you 15% marked off, marked up 8%, the benefit is still 8.2% (1-.85 * 1.08)

[@Hutchyy]

Which isn't enough for it to be worth it along with the risk and big initial investment I think he was saying

[@jackcostello5757]

But they save 15% of the already reduced wholesale price and have to pay 8% of the much higher retail price so they do pay more

[@SiriusMined]

@@jackcostello5757 I just did the math for you and you're wrong

Yea you know how to incentivise someone into running a great business, take more than half their business, that will work.

[@yannick9473]

Whats Deborah on about, they've turned over 900k with 100k stock. She was particularly rude and ignorant towards Peter and Michelle.

[@jeremy5939]

Yeah they also only made 146,000 profit over three years. That's not a million dollar company.

[@elenawilliams32]

Their million pound business dissolved in 2017. Also, the investment deal with Duncan never went through. They weren't just green, they were delusional.

[@soulreaperichig0]

​@@jeremy5939 They valued it at 20x earnings multiple. They accepted dunca's offer. They accepted Duncan's offer at 5x earnings multiple. Negotiating tactic.

[@caitlinhart1870]

And so she should of been my mum and dad are terrible people. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors

[@CKD3332]

Clear daylight robbery. The strategy here was for the dragons to hammer the guy, make him feel small and foolish. 4 dragons declare themselves out and the one dragon that's left comes to his rescue with a offer that seems like he is saving him. When in actual fact he is ripping him off.

[@Ghost572]

Well they can easily say no once the cameras stop rolling, they may also get offered outside investments at a better deal

[@elenawilliams32]

The deal with Duncan never went through and the business dissolved in 2017.
