Dragons’ Den recruiting for new series

Article Date:  Jan 14 2010

BBC TV show Dragons’ Den is inviting applications from businesses for its eighth season.

The production team wants to find ‘business ideas, inventions or products with serious business potential that are investment-ready and looking for funding’.

In the most recent series of the programme, in which entrepreneurs pitch their businesses to five investors, 15 business owners received offers of investment, while others have succeeded in bringing their products to market without the backing of the “dragons”.

Filming takes place between April and June and entrepreneurs wanting to apply are recommended to do so as soon as possible by email or by visiting the Dragons’ Den website.
