Dragon’s Den is the BBC 2 programme which gives entrepreneurs the chance to pitch their ideas to a panel of successful business experts, in return for a financial investment. Here’s the pitch from the Dragon’s Den website:

All manner of money-spinning minds will step into the intimidating world of business financing, determined to make their dreams come true. All they need is the cash. To get this, they must face the Dragons, all of whom are formidable business thinkers with the money to make things happen.

But this is no lottery - the contestants will need all their powers of reasoning, presentation and persuasion to convince our five business experts that theirs is a product worth investing in. The Dragons know what makes a successful idea, how much it’s worth and how much cash is needed to get it off the ground.

Going into their next series they are now looking for entrepreneurs to get in touch with them and to appear on the programme. If you believe you have a great product or idea which could do with a financial injection, get in touch with the team either through the Dragon’s Den website or by filling out a Dragon’s Den Application Form.
