what? how are you supposed to trust a dragon. Duncan was laughing at her for even trusting him that much. She shouldn't sell 25% of the land for that amount. what a joke
There's something I really like about Duncan. Sometimes he can be a real ... handful, but then sometimes he does something like this, and I can't help really like him. 😄
respect to duncan for the fair offer, the land alone is 100k in value and will only go up in value, and the business is projected to turnover over 100k, 25% is great value.
would be worth the same now - still a really good offer, and I think she was naive to include it, i bet this one fell through when her solicitor told her not to put duncan on the deeds of her home.
It's rare I comment on dragons den clips but my word, this lady was impressive and well controlled. I really hope this worked out between them and she deserves all the success she gets!
So you rarely comment on Dragon Den episodes. Does that mean everyone should pay greater attention to your comment? If not, then why make that irrelevant point?
Duncan is one of the best examples of "Chaotic Good" personalities I know of. He can be harsh and cold at times, but his compass keeps him on the right path
Yes she has everything on point except for the last question asking who the dragons are that could had cost her glad Duncan wasn't but hurt like Theo or the other dragons would have
@@franciscolaurean8550 I don't even think it's that insulting a question, if asked properly. These guys are investors, not necessarily huge public figures everybody knows unless they watch Dragon's Den I'd be more surprised if the Pitch makers knew what these guys were known for in the business world.
Jenny: Oh my, well in that case I'll offer you all of the money but I want 90% of the business. Thereby taking herself out of the running without needing to say she's out. 😄
Lol, who pissed in Theo's English Breakfast that morning? He was being so rude to this poor girl. Glad she got a seemingly good deal with Duncan. Hoped it worked out well for her.
It's like going to a job interview and saying "well I didn't have time to look up what you guys do, could you tell me what job I'm applying for?" Not having time is not an excuse, you can literally do it in an hour if not less.
I don't think Theo was bad at all. He gave her an offer when everyone was going out. He just came into conflict with Duncan who was knocking his offer and then she did make one really bad mistake by asking them what they do. She should know about them beforehand. I was really surprised she asked that.
Did she though? It's easy to find information about how Hawksdrift is still in business and doing well, but I couldn't find any information about whether or not the deal with Duncan actually happened after the show. Did you find a reliable source?
Duncan's a no-nonsense guy. Some people he takes a dislike to, some business ideas he doesn't like, and if the entrepreneur's being evasive or the numbers don't add up, he wastes no time in going out. 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.
She seems like someone who took some calculated risks at the right time, and worked hard to make her life work. Well done. I looked up the business, her land is an amazing spot! Must be worth loads now
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.
I loved this episode! A lovely lady, a wonderful business, a warm and sympathetic dragon, and a fair offer. What could be better! Best of luck for the future Layla, you deserve every success.
I remember meeting this girl near Rhayader at a falconry country show. She was with a guy who seemed to me an unsavoury character. Following year I met her & her new partner, a nice, genuine guy. Enough said! I hope she's doing well & happy with her life!
Due to publicity involved i would say they aren't going to screw you over other than the original agreed percentage, they all seem to like being on the show
There is no way any Dragon would risk their reputation by even attempting to violate or circumvent a business agreement, let alone one with millions of witnesses.
Duncan is such a kind hearted man !! So much respect for you sir !! We can see you trying to help this young girl achieving her dreams.. got tears in my eyes..
Well done Layla, pure spirit of human, its very rare to see it in these days, I wish you best of luck in your business and hope we will see you in some of historical movie in the future
I read Duncan Bannatynes biography book and I’d highly recommend it, he’s a decent down to earth and normal working class bloke who has always garnered my respect. Top man.
She seems very professional ….. I work around South Wales and Gloucester and see these birds flying around from time to time …. But only just realised the whole concept of what the business does ….and as someone else said , she’s made amazing profits and doing very well … good luck to her
She is so very well prepared. She answers straight and with all the right detail. You see sales people and seasoned businessmen fumbling here and she is just so on point.

I'm surprised the other dragons lacked such foresight as a breeding pair of falcons chicks sell for £70,000 upwards 🤔 Elegant composed precise what an amazing pitch 👍
I'm not sure I can recall a different time when a dragon just says "I'm gonna offer exactly what you're asking for". That was refreshingly straightforward.
Theo once again proving that he's an out of touch, old, cranky boomer that doesn't know anything about anything, AND can't accept when he's totally in the wrong. I have a large business I made from nothing. I knew as soon as she said she owned the land, even with what her numbers were, what she asked for was absolutely reasonable. Duncan seemed to be the only one who figured it out. 25k for 20% of that young ladies business for him and the same deal for another dragon, would mean he and another dragon would basically get that much back instantly in her asset value, essentially just buying a 1 for 1 stake in a property... thier money is safe and they make more money on land equity growth even if the business does nothing... and then him and another greedy dragon would be getting HALF of her businesses profits for free. How does that man sleep at night shame on him 🤣
Hello Sam, could I get an email or something because I also am making a company out of nothing but I just need some advice. Any amount of help would be appreciated
Theo was entitled to ask for more than the going rate. The dragons almost always do unless there's a bidding war (on the basis that most entrepreneurs will underpitch in the first case, and then there'll be haggling), and he was obviously conflicted about whether it was a good investment. Deborah and Peter were out, so he was probably expecting a dragon's market, with James or Duncan to match his offer. He wasn't expecting Duncan to just swoop in and blow him out of the water. He could have responded better to the question about his background, although she could have framed that question better too to be fair.
"Okay, thank you for your answer" was a beautiful way to handle Theo's attitude.
She's used to working with predators.
For me the episode where Duncan shows his class and human spirit. What a legend
Usually he's 'oot' but this time he fell into her spell! I wish them well.
This is the ONLY time he has offered exactly what the entrepreneur is asking. Normally he is mega greedy like Pizza Jones
