Missed marketing opportunity?

Missed marketing opportunity?

Didn't find your answer?

Many Entrepreneurs presenting in Dragons Den performed poorly due to a lack of understanding of finance.

It is interesting non were represented by their accountants.Is this a missed marketing opportunity for accountants and would it not be a superb opportunity to appear on TV?

They are sworn to secrecy

A client of ours was invited on, and he wasn't allowed to discuss it with anyone until the broadcast date was known.

... well, that's what my client told me, anyway, a couple of days before it was broadcast!!!

most of the ideas are so daft

That no self respecting accountant would be seen dead promoting them!

I mean a 'drive on the left' driving glove....

I don't know why any accountant would want to put themselves through such an ordeal.

The dragons themselves tend to be quite disparaging, almost contemptuous when a pitcher says, 'my accountant said that . . '

Bear in mind that you have no editorial control and there is a fair chance that the way the programme is cut could make you look a chump regardless of your performance. After all, this is entertainment programme, not a business documentary.
