If you have to keep telling everyone how amazing you are, it's probably because you're not. If you're really good, you really don't have to tell anyone. Everyone will just know.

That was one of the most satisfying episodes ever. They came for Touker, he was interested, he made an offer, they were excited and they said yes.
Finally! An entrepreneur putting up a fight! So many just stand there and listen to a Dragon's closing remarks and I'm thinking yooo just SAY something, now is the time to be persuasive. And just look where it got her. Bravo!

Yeah, shame her husband did that though, bit silly.
Touker didnt want in but felt a little on the spot, he thought by raising the percentage they would walk away. But allas they accepted! Lol his face when they said thats the best deal they could of received...his face," I know." 😅
Credit to the Vietnamese factory workers for designing and making these baskets.
I actually think that guy was astute to just instantly take the offer. If they were willing to go up to that figure, there is no point beating around the bush. The reason is the deal has to be beneficial and attractive for both parties, and he wants Touker to be motivated. Also a lot of deals struck on the den actually end up not going through when it comes to the due diligence process if either side feels it's unworkable or won't be beneficial. So really if they are happy with him taking 40%, and it seems to be obvious that they were and had clearly spoken about it prior to the show, then there is really no point negotiating, it is better to just get the ball rolling.

So are you saying that, they made a wrong decision? Or that they didn't think through about how taking the investment would impact their business, and what the effects would be in the future? Should they have declined the offer, or negotiated much more better and with much more finese.
They got inspired from Vietnam. The original people that make basket hand made. It would be nicer to see someone with a personal connection to pitch this idea
They look like dust traps- really difficult to clean.

Genuinely nice people. Touker will grow their revenue.
Nice couple and good luck to them. However Dragons Den production team are really scarping the bottom of a barrel lately, the ridiculous shower cleaner was bad enough, the Dragons must struggle to get enthusiastic about these investment opportunities. Even Touker looked annoyed after making this deal!

I wish Dragons Den would get back to basics of originality and inventive new ideas like it was at the beginning. Don't know why these dragons waste their time with most of these retail add ons. Dragons Den used to be expect the unexpected, now it's just redo of same same.
Touker- I wonder if you’d be interested in fairtrade!

@numsum wrong... there is literally hundreds of businesses like this that the dragons did invest in that ended up making no difference at all. There are countless stories come out that the dragons never actually do anything, they turn their "investment" into a bank loan and out the company into even more debt. Just look it up on KZread and you'll see all the stories of unhappy entrepreneurs that regretted giving the dragons and equity in their family run smaller businesses
Full order books from here on - i can see huge success for the venture
i hope they do well, but 40% is far too much to give away imo. its was good to see touker get a bit of respect for once though.

Are you a plastic container by any chance?
If your kids have so many toys that you feel the need to buy a ton of baskets then 1. your kids are spoiled rotten 2. You're fools are parents 3. Stop buying so many toys, the plastic is clogging up landfills, and 4. Get your kids outdoors or give them recyclable materials to play with like paper and watercolors, make them a castle out of cardboard boxes. The ideas are endless and don't fill up landfills.
