- Former Footballer Nilesh Pandit is confident that his 5-a-side Football Pitch business will attract investment from The Dragons, until Deborah Meaden spots a worrying inconsistency with his numbers. Can Nilesh convince The Dragons that his tax avoidance is a thing of the past?
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

Why am I addicted to these videos?
I'm thinking the same thing 🤣
joe crusher Because these programmes are really interesting as well as entertaining as simple as that.
I don't know what else to watch tbh!
The thrill of seeing people being judged and potentially humiliated. Gordon Ramsey. Judge Judy. Dragon's Den.
Victoria Louise same as me we sad...
"I have answers for all their questions"
"Where's the 200k gone?"
"Uh.... I don't have an answer for that...?"
60 seconds later: "Oh THAT 200K... it was for unpaid taxes."
"airtight" he said...
He could have just said its in a different account for the purpose of xyz
@mr red It's not a lie to keep information that makes you look bad private and it's never considered good business NOT to do this. He should have simply said that the money was legally invested in property connected to his family who have no involvement in his personal business and that would have been fine. What he should not have done was tell the dragons that the money in the form of owed-tax has been reclaimed by a government corporation due to his own dishonesty. Saying NOTHING would have been better than saying that, business-wise. If he stood there like a Penguin and said absolutely nothing, it would have been better than this, my good man
@mr red It doesn't matter what anyone's qualifications are if you say nothing they've got nothing. It's called a pitch for a reason. It's you against the competition and as much as you love the dragons, business is a game and this man played like a fool
Nilesh: "Everything is airtight, no pitfalls with the business"
Also Nilesh: "Tax avoidance happened"
👍🤣
The second he said there were no pitfalls, he chose death.
Also said had an anwser to everything
Also Nilesh: Absolutely they will (netball on astroturf)
Not surprising someone who commits tax evasion was over confident enough in themselves to do this
Deborah is the best Dragon. No nonsense, clever, sees right to the heart of an issue. I love seeing her pick apart pitches like these 😂
Peter literally does the same, probably a whole lot better AND more technical with breakdowns… but whatever…lol…
I agree on average Deborah edges out all the Dragons but mostly it depends on the entrepreneur's pitch and product which Dragon really knows better if to make an offer or withdraws from offering.
she just finds any reason to not invest
Deborah and Peter seem to be miles ahead of the rest.
she also gets offended when people mention her hair being dyed
“They failed to realise”
No mate, your dishonest evasiveness that broke their trust was the entire problem
The cocky ones always blame the dragons... They likely learn their lesson later on I'm sure.
Exactly.
And I bet he STILL believes he was treated unfairly by the dragons!
He was running around the bush
@@HopelessSinner Ikr
Right?? The nerve of this guy! Arrogant little bugger.
Even at the end he still didn’t realise that it was because of his dishonesty, not a mistake “millions of years ago.”
Shame culture, that's the root cause.
@@nonvalidOT What do you mean? Generally not paying taxes is pretty shameful & dangerous to an investor
@@52andattitude48 Shame culture is only applicable to other shame culture people that are known to the Primary. He doesnt care the dragons know, but he'd be ashamed if his family and friends knew.
Ehh my guy. It's been awhile since I've seen another creature in the wild.
@@nonvalidOT genuinely shouldn't have gone on a TV show where he would have to say that then
He is the definition of shady. He made a conscious error and still refuses to take responsibility, blaming the Dragons. He is infuriating.
And delusional, to walk in there and tell the cameras everything is airtight in the business when he knew full well it wasn't. Did he really think he could pull the wool over their eyes!? 😂 The Dragons eat, sleep, and breathe business! Unreal.
@@JMM111 Absolutely. I wonder if he knows the value of self-respect and integrity.
"People can learn from their mistakes."
Well typically if you learned from your mistakes, you would recall the details of said mistake.
Facts
Not even that, he kept just refusing to be out with it from the get-go, he keeps talking about "the mistake happened forever ago"
Nah bro, the mistake happened like 4 minutes ago when you couldn't be straight with the people who could have handed you $100,000
Not to mention that was like his third mistake. The first one was not paying his taxes, second having them take over 200k from him, and third what's going there trying to lie to their faces about the numbers. Three strikes you're out.
Even if he had he still lied through his teeth. He tried to not tell them hoping they wouldn't find out.
Who would invest in a guy who admits that he doesn't take authority well?
Like Steve Jobs u mean?
Jenny... That's who
Well Peter was about to but it was his dishonesty was the deal breaker.
This show is a parade of shady wankers who can’t be trusted in anything. Straight answers are hard to come by- they have to really work to get to the truth.
that is how you become a business owner you don't bend the knee you become the knee that people bend too !
He failled to realise that he wasn't penalised for HMRC debacle, but for his dishonesty during his pitch. Straight up lies were spewed during his pitch.
Exactly had he come out straight away when topic of accounts came up and said "I fucked up this happened that led to this but I've learnt heavily from it" but he just tried pull the wool over their eyes and hope they didn't notice 200k was missing.
This guy is shady, thats why he didnt say he was penalized by HMRC. If he made this a strength, like he said it proves he came back from this hole, he would have gain respect for his honesty at least
But he couldnt say it, because he is shady.
And what did he think when he presented the figures ? They wouldnt ask about the 250k gap wtf dude
I literally came to the comments to say the exact same thing. I couldn't have put this better myself.
No matter what form it comes in a lie will always be a lie.
It was literally one moment that screwed him. If he said he suffered a tax penalty or whatever it was then he may have been successful. I don't think he lied though... just terrified to admit it.
“It’s airtight. There’s no pitfalls with this business”
“We defrauded HMRC for £200k”
Who’d have thought it.
They actually defrauded them for much more. The 200k was just the fine.
Peter's face change and his reiteration after pitcher said "I'll let you continue" was beyond hilarious
And then the insincere backtracking he did right after.
Peter is distraught that he didn’t get asked why he was so knowledgable about netball! 😂
Peter asks about Netball when it's a 5-a-side football product
Guys comes on pitching vegan products and Peter asks why they don't ask him about his experience with beef! 🤣
@@PlayMoreGolf-RipOff lady come in pitching about bras
Peter: where are the condoms
@@nifralo2752 Peter won’t go ‘in’ without one!
Yeah but without explaining why playing netball on Astroturf is not possible. "My daughter plays netball", "I have a black friend" blah blah blah
Thing is Peter isn't correct. There's medical research on affect on ligaments playing on various surfaces, concrete is one if the worst.
Composite flooring is best
Former footballer from London, oh yeah he's used to tax evasion then
I get your point, but actually they are charged very carefully their taxes, F.A and premier league well on top of it.
@@gbt722 They're taxed under PAYE for their earnings as a player and that's fine but where the evasion (or usually avoidance in most cases) often comes in is is their image rights, sponsorship and non football investments. You just have to look at the number of football figures caught up in the movie rights and technology schemes to know it's outside of the FA and PL's control
Most football clubs give players advice and help on evading tax by using offshore accounts and I’m sure majority of them go along with it. Nothing out of the ordinary at all.
I think it was more dog and duck than Chelsea.
@@gbt722 So there aren't players in the prem currently being investigated in connection with tax not being paid on transfer fee "dividends"...
Also, while there might be tight rules, it is not something that is "under control" at all.
www.itv.com/news/2019-01-21/record-number-of-footballers-under-investigation-by-hmrc-over-tax-avoidance/
Actually even with hiding the mistake, it was more infuriating to my eyes that he did not know how much the penalty was to cover for. If you lost 200,000 due to a penalty, you would probably well remember the value that got you there in the first place. That makes me worry for accountability of funds.
He was being dishonest with it. Of course he knows, he just doesn't want to say. If he had been open about it, they would not've gone after him so hard.
@@bobjohn2000 exactly. He's a Shady little tosser. Wholly uninvestible.
He knew! He just wouldn’t tell them! LIAR
He basically hasn’t paid any tax on any of his income
Tax evasion is something each of these dragons have dealt with in their lifetime, whether of their own doing or through a partnership. The simple fact is Nilesh came off an untrustworthy in several areas, all relating to handling of funds. If you're hiding something during your pitch, what will you try to hide during operations?
"I cant work 9-5, I cant take direction from bosses" - not really what you want to hear when investing in someone
He still doesn't get it, he lost because of his presentation evasiveness not the million years ago mistake.
That's because he is a fool :)
Yes, they repeatedly told him what his mistake was and to learn from it, but in the end he still didn't get it
Tax avoidance isn't a 'mistake' it's deliberate fraud that was found out and in this instance he didn't get away with
@@sibionic As someone who has been on the wrong side of HMRC, mistakes happen man. Its all sinister, especially for people just starting out.
@@SubjectiveFunny Mistakes. Fine, to get a huge penalty of 250,000 pounds is not a "slight mistake" it's either a deliberate act or he's got some awful internet taught accountants.

I'm in the U.S and have watched all these videos for a month straight. The accents make it even better. I love it lol
I think it goes beyond than just the accents, something about the demeanor of everything is so much nicer
Overall the show is much less dramatized than the US Shark Tank. It's like Kitchen Nightmares in the US vs Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares in the UK. Both have their place for sure
What is it about Americans having obsessions about the British accent? Have you heard the brommie accent?
@@ya00007 I think a lot of Americans just have a belief that we all have a very similar accent here, when really you can go from one town to the next and hear several very different accents!

@@anglaismoyen yes
Nothing gets past Deborah. An honest, ethical ,really smart businesswoman.
Ethical is a bit of a strong word.
She was protecting her own interests by not associating with someone not trustworthy, that's it.
Calling a multimillionaire ethical is hilariously naive.
All of these rich people know how to dodge tax but they know how to do it legally
@@BenjaminGoose It depends both on how one defines 'multimillionaire' and 'ethical'.

I prefer Peter "I'll give you all of the money for 100% of the business" Jones
Toucker: you’re very credible
He perfectly demonstrated his “fixed mindset” at the end, by suggesting “I’m right, I’m the victim” and he probably also said they missed an opportunity, but I stopped watching 🤢 Young entrepreneurs, don’t be like this... You need a “growth mindset” to thrive! Starve the ego too...

She's done this for several decades, I imagine spotting an error like that for her is equivalent to someone spotting a spelling mistake, she's that used to it

- Man who tried to hide the fact that he lost everything and still came back from it.
But he was running around the bush
Nah mate, they realized all that. What he failed to realize is that he wasnt upfront about it, he didnt learn from it, he tried to avoid the truth
He should have been transparent about it because in the end if someone even decided to invest they would have known and may have changed their mind. I don't know him but when people do this the first impression is dishonesty and after is so difficult to change it.

tubester4567 hope you are being sarcastic. If not, please seek help.
Hehehehe
LOOOOLLLLLL ded,, no wait, must laff some moarr!
The only way he would have gotten such a high tax penalty is that he never disclosed any profits.If ur running a business with no profits over 2 years, you're seriously asking to get caught. No business would logically run for years without profits. This guy is an outright scammer. He would have scammed investors monies. If I ever invested in someone like this make sure you have someone you can trust inside plus your own accountants and auditor.
He absolutely did not learn his lesson. He never explained the exact reason for the fine, he played the victim after the meeting: “I’m still being punished for a mistake... a million, million years ago...” no - he’s being punished for not being transparent or honest; “they fail to realize I lost everything and came back,” they aren’t failing anything, he never gave them that information.
He’s way too cocky - and the “better” version with Peter was fake, in my opinion - his actual personality is the cocksure, argumentative, disrespectful version.
He’ll probably be a big success because you don’t have to be a honest, trustworthy or even likeable person to succeed in business - in fact, “better” qualities can be seen as weakness by some people.
It’s a good plan that I think a lot of people would enjoy and benefit from, so I hope it is successful - but I wish someone more deserving had come up with it.
take it easy fatso
Tell that to him when I go to his house cause he my uncle
@@alainportant6412 hey she right about me uncle nilesh
Likability is a quality, you can't do business with businessmen and businesswoman who hate your guts. Your colleagues have to like atleast some aspect of the way you conduct yourself, your employees have to like atleast some aspect of the job to keep them staying, your consumers have to like some aspect of the product to keep them buying.
His attitude is a bit suspect. I think he's blagging. He's spent it on hookers, coke and a Ferrari.
so,it wasnt wasted then?crook written all over him,at least smarten up for that essential"first impression".plonker.
No he didn’t he is my uncle he has none of that stuff he has no Ferrari coke maybe
He's missing the point, it was his dishonesty that lost him the deal not the tax avoidance which he must have learned nothing from because he still cant be trusted.
Oh don't worry he knows that he's just trying to gain his sympathy points. But nobody's buying it.
Even at the very end, rather than admitting he made a mistake, he carries on about how hard he's had it, what a victim!
He’s.my uncle be meaner
Character is destiny. He'll still be the dodgey, evasive, slimy scammer that he is 30 years from now, and in all probabilty behind cold, rusty, bars. I hope he doesn't get out.
Yep, big bad people bullying me for my past mistakes. Please give me sympathy.
Typical narcissist. They love to play victim and don't take advice or criticism from anyone.
If someone can't even remember what happened to their own money, I'd be extremely scared. If I lost $250k, i would definitely remember how and why it happened
i lost 70 euro ""investing"" a few years ago and i still can't get it out of my head
@@miso-ge1gzI lost a £10 note when I was 14, I'm 42 now. I remember it and hope I'll find that £10 one day 😂
I love the way Tej just watches the entrepreneurs with hawk-like scrutiny. Then you can see his satisfaction when he knows, from the others questioning, he was right about his assessment.
"I've got the answers to all their questions."
later...
"I'll be honest, I don't have the answer to that question."
In a situation like this, there's nothing worse than misplaced self confidence. And I'm so surprised that he went into this without realising they were going to ask about the numbers. He knew everything about the business itself, but nothing about the numbers. And business is all about the numbers.
@@marcuscross8051 he knew about the numbers. He just didn't want to admit them
@One Time Boar, Absolutely bang on, he is not good at being Elusive at ALL.................................
@@Spirit444 Maybe that's even worse actually. It's one thing to not know something. It's another to be a liar, a bullshitter.

Definitely true 😂
it was because of his lack of transparency, trying to state that he didn't know but was forced do drag it out and come across a bit deceptive.
I'm guessing this is a joke? because they of all people will be fully up to speed with everything they need. They opted out because the guy had 10 mins of their time and chose to be confrontational and a lier.

Jenny is famous for having virtually never made a deal or even making an offer on this show. She says "I'm out" all the time and has hardly made a single investment. Hence the jokes. I was about to say that the ticking of a clock gives her reason to say "I'm out".

He is an example of what not to do/say when you ask for someone's money.
Honesty Is the best policy
I met him at a corporate do he ran for our company. Very nice bloke. He said the dragons off camera were exceedingly supportive and encouraging.
I wouldn't trust anything he says.
Perfect selected introduction of him how he will pitch with his knowledge of all numbers and all answers to questions. Some are just too perfect.
Remember when you have nothing, you may still have your credibility. When that has gone...then you truly have nothing.

Brilliant comment. I get fed up of liars in business. Be s8 talking no matter the situation you are in.

He still thinks that they penalized him for that old mistake when it was literally explained to him that thats not the case, but rather about his dishonesty.
He is a mena uncle never go with me to his house
I cannot BELIEVE that I already watched this AND commented on this 4 years ago.
Everyone is gangster until Debra finds something on you😂
For all his answers about “learning from his mistakes”, his interview clip after the fact, at the very end, clearly showed he HADNT learned… bc he still didn’t seem to grasp what exactly they had an issue with.
"I don't have the answer to that question"
*Intro*
"I've got the answers to all their questions"
You can tell at the end, he didn’t learn the lessons. THEY failed to realise...
Peter literally said he would have invested if he had been fully honest low key delusional at the end with that comment
Jeffrey Wilson yeah right, he was even told he was credible as well as the business being a great opportunity
My thoughts exactly
He was a crook, he didn’t stand a chance.
he still thinks his pitch was ruined just by the tax mistake, rather than him not being honest when they asked where the surplus was
He thinks he was penalised for his mistake, but he fails to see that he was actually rejected because he lied about his mistake and tried to cover it up.
I really learn a lot from the dragons, what with business and how to analyse, all of it. Brilliant.
It isn't about the past mistake you made, it's about the fact that you lied.
The most important attribute in business is honesty. Be honest every time.
@alan pagan Tbf the dragons are often selected precisely because they've built businesses up from that point.
alan pagan you do realize most millionaires of today WERE those “poor small business people” that just grew their businesses right?
He just didn't get it, he wasn't penalised for a mistake from years ago, he was penalised for failing to mention it.
This
He started so well. Good pitch, strong numbers, a decent idea, and a good answer to Jones' question on instruction. Then Deborah absolutely blows the whole operation out of the water and digs to get the reason for the retained profits not adding up. Hopefully, this chap learned his lesson from this. His idea is goos and clearly, there is a business there.
I've played in a league in Kennington run by Nilesh for the last 5 or 6 years and I've gotta be honest, despite the daftness shown here, he's actually a decent bloke and keeps our league very well run!

I am so addicted to this show. Appreciate the uploads Dragons' Den !!!
“I woulda gone pro but I hurt my foot”
"Yeah, I ran my business so badly I got fined £200K. Can I have some money please?".
It's not even the situation of that that's the problem it's the why would you say that element. Lol
Mistake was lying and covering up. Thats the definition of untrustworthy
“I hate working 9 to 5” words uttered by every fake guru lol
Oh my god i can’t stop watching!!
"Everything's air-tight"
*£250,000 wants to know it's own location*
The thrill of seeing people being judged and potentially humiliated. Gordon Ramsey. Judge Judy. Dragon's Den.
Sounds like you might be a bit of a psychopath then.
And Jeremy Kyle
BenjaminGoose not really, it’s called human nature.
I taste a little hint of sarcasm there.
The world is a cut-throat place. Only a wise person would learn from such harsh criticism.
@@BenjaminGoose well people seem to love those kind of TV shows so I guess there is a bit of truth to my statement, I think
In his intro.... everything is airtight.... during the pitch " Deborah popped that air balloon"
Of course the 7-Eleven tech support Dunkin’ Donuts taxi owner is shady
4:28 - these poor youth services have had their public funding cut...
8:16 - oh and I played my part by dodging the taxes that fund them now I want to profit from their need....
David Cameron’s Big Society in action.
He seems a very dodgy man- I wouldn’t trust him with £10 let alone investing on him. More like he makes lots of money and do the run
ALEX MG yea, I can sense that he was definitely was a dodgy character, the type to take your investment money and run for the hills........I’m out!
Same here. My Dodgy BS Alarm started beeping as soon as I heard him speak.
As the great Gordon Ramsay said; "I wouldn't even trust him to run my bath."
He is my uncle and your right he the worst
@@user-eg3fj7nn7b Really?
They didn’t annex him because of his mistake - Peter made that abundantly clear. They annexed him for trying to get away with keeping that mistake a secret. He wasn’t being dishonest until Debora made it clear there was something to be revealed. She knew that money had gone somewhere and no amount of “forgetfulness” would be truth enough for that amount of money going missing. Even after 4 dragons and Jenny gave him clear and concise reasons as to why they couldn’t (not wouldn’t) invest, which had nothing to do with his initial mistake, he still didn’t hear it, and he still twisted the truth as he heard it and said he was penalised for a mistake. Uninvestable.
Let’s be honest, it was blatant tax avoidance not a mistake.
Given how tall Peter Jones is, you would surely expect any daughter he has to be playing netball
Such an arrogant fraudster. Tried to pull one over the dragons but was never gonna work..
The dragons are as much guilty as the entrepreneur with cheating in taxes
kalibelt kalibelt tax evasion and tax avoidance are different things
@@madisonhulton5813 but u need up doing the same thing(not paying tax or paying less tax) same category cheating
kalibelt kalibelt the difference is they are honest about it end dont try to cover it up or get smacked with 200k fines. That’s why they get a tv show and Astro-boy got the elevator
He didn't try very hard by the standards of a basic quality criminal
Shame, because that was a really strong pitch and a great business model.
The last few seconds at the end showed that he failed to realise why they went out … it isn’t because of the mistake necessarily, but rather it’s how reluctant he was to share the mistake and how bad it looked
Skip the little 20 seconds of highlights at the start mate - we wanna see the full story before we see the dragons tear them a new arsehole
Being torn a new arsehole is a positive thing. It'll make shitting twice as fast.
