Pitch your business

If you’re seeking investment for a business opportunity you believe Deborah may be interested in please complete the form at the bottom of this page. Before submitting your business opportunity make sure you read the information below carefully and take a look at the Business Advice section of this website.

Alternatively click here to visit the BBC website and apply to appear on Dragons’ Den.

Please note that Deborah is interested in receiving business proposals – not just ideas. Having great ideas is fantastic but there’s a very big difference between an idea and a business. You need to be able to say that you’ve done something about your idea that demonstrates (at a minimum) your commitment towards it becoming a business. This could mean that you’ve already attained a patent, sold some of your products, gained qualifications or skills, carefully researched the market or developed a prototype. Whatever it is, there has to be something that makes Deborah believe you can turn this into a successful business.

So, if you still think you have a business opportunity that might be of interest to Deborah and you believe you have what it takes to make it happen we look forward to receiving your pitch.

At this early stage Deborah only wants a top level summary of your business proposal and what makes it special, so please don’t exceed the maximum 1000 character limit. Think about it like this, if you can’t grab our attention and sell yourself to us in 200 words, how will you ever manage to persuade customers to buy your product?!

Don’t worry, if we like what you have to say we’ll contact you for more information.

Good luck!
