      Yes his attitude was something to behold; I imagine he will call that self worth and confidence. He knows that loans are debt but he is the Director and this is a Directors loan he seems to be refusing to accept that its something as negative as debt. Thing is he is competent with his figures, speaks very well and gave a very confidant pitch. And the product looks very useful.

      You need to review those figures correctly. In the latest 2021 figures, they made a net profit of 52k (check page 8) which reduced the accumulated losses to 8k over the lifetime of the business (shareholder funds). On that basis it looks like they might avoid dissolution.

    This guy would be awful to deal with! All he achieved was to make himself look like someone with no vision or forward thinking, and someone that would never be a positive business partner. He should not have taken 50%, but his refusal to even discuss a counter and also his stubbornness over calling his debt a debt showed his true colours. People like this do succeed sometimes, like Steve Jobs, but you need a world changing technology and not a bag. Imaging being married to this guy....

    • @seanjosephhayes
      @seanjosephhayes 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      @@BenjaminGoose No. The company would become more valuable. The investment would then equate to less and less of a percentage than the original percentage asked for as the company valuation increases and 25% at such a point would be more than generous and still equate to much more of a percentage than what the original investment would then be worth. They’ve made their money back so it’s pure profit after that and would still be plenty anyway. If it got to 3 million like she said then that’s still 750,000 profit every year just on 25%. Plenty.

      I THINK what he was saying is he doesn't want it back. But he doesn't understand unless he wipes it off on record, his company is making 10k a year from a 150k investment or whatever he spent himself that will show as debt 😅
      I'm not sure the dragons explained well enough, they hardly every do they just assume everyone knows business terms and lingo, that's essentially the dragons day job now, and the people they see on this are mostly noobs, so they could try explaining themselves a bit better 😅

    Whenever people like this even refuse to make a counter offer, I stop believing they even wanted a real investment and are only there for the free publicity.
    Because ok… you think she‘s way off? Fine! Gibe her an offer you would consider off! Worst case scenario, she says „no“! Best case scenario (if you were actually looking for an investor) you‘ll find common ground!
    But obviously, if you don‘t want their investment in the first place, you don‘t want to risk finding common ground.

    While, a Director’s loan is a debt on the books, the guy was trying to say that it was money used to set up the business and he was not looking for it back in the short term. In other words, he would have written it off to get the right offer from a Dragon. This lark of offering 50% of someone’s business is such a slap in the face, the guy was right to turn it down. Money, in this instance is not everything. A greedy offer (normally a Touker gambit) deserved short shrift.

    • @calsmyth4483
      @calsmyth4483 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      1. He obviously has no intention of writing it off, hence why he not only didn't say that - he specifically said that he DOES have an intention of collecting it in the future.
      2. He was offered 50% because of the way he structured his offer. The valuation Sara offered was exceedingly fair - she overvalued it if anything. Why on Earth do you think a garment bag, that anyone can just copy, that doesn't currently make any money and has no recognisable brand is worth significantly more than £150k?
