I work in the waste management industry and 200k is a small investment for companies like these. Waste is a big business and it always will be. There's not stopping it.
+Raeven Brough well if you look at the original video ''DJ Khaled - Hold You Down'' at 4:30ish there's the infamous cringeworthy monologue of DJ Khaked where he says to the girl ''I appreciate that'' which is also quoted as ''I appreciate you'' especially by H3H3. And that's what the guy in this video was about to say but he continued the sentence with ''listening'' after a pause. So he almost pulled off a DJ Khaled. Hope that explains the joke. +Jay gets it
In February 2021, it's interesting to see what happened after this early episode from 2008. Duncan Walker Bannatyne and Deborah Sonia Meaden invested as agreed, served as directors for three years and resigned in 2011. Colin Slade, the partner not shown in the programme, resigned in 2020, leaving Paul Tinton as sole director. The net worth of the Prowaste business in 2019 was about £210,000. Maybe the skip business is worth more but, after hiring many skips for building work, I know local companies can charge less because their trucks and drivers do shorter journeys from customer to depot.
Good work mate! You knew your business inside and out and the opposition! Good to see someone with actual business savvy for once on the show. Good Luck!
To be honest, he still has 60% of a company that could become absolutely colossal and potentially international if it really is one of the only companies to offer a complete package like that
niemand gelooft dat ik ben engels 30% as he was 50/50 with a mate before walking in, gives 40% away that leaves 60% between him and his mate, diluted a lot for 200k if u ask me, I doubt his mate would be too happy at losing 20% for 100k...........
Many Thanks Jon. We have since re purchased our entire share holding and the business has continued to grow. In the last 12 months we have gone into a really nice period of growth and launched a nationwide service for residential skip hire. Thanks for the kind words...
You made a point that you were different to all the other companies as each bin is for a different waste stream yet see that you now do actually hire skips to the construction industry, did your original business model not work? Seeing as you’re now the same as any skip company. Interesting to know how it went?
@@TheJohnCooperShow thanks for asking. March 2020 we took a 60% hit to turnover. Predominantly from residential skip hire and small builders on residential projects stopping over night. The major construction then leapt into life and we were back to 100% by May. This year, especially over the last couple of months, we have achieved record breaking sales levels, so fingers crossed it continues throughout the rest of the year. Good luck to you and all in the new world that is forming in front of us.
They're investors, it's their job and it's where their money comes from. There's more chance of them receiving a profit from the 100k each they put in if they take 20% each instead of 10%. They've got no idea whether the company will do well or not so they can't just give him a load of money and expect to get it all back😂
+Walrai That is a ridiculous statement. Firstly, they are not idiots and he had turnover financially to show what they were getting into. Secondly, investing in someone does not mean that you need to behave like an arrogant arsehole, not does it mean you should take total advantage of someone's situation to screw them for every penny.
40 %?! I don't know much about business, but that seems outrageous to me. He's got the idea, he has done the ground work and will continue to do so in the future. How is a one time investment worth 40 %? The risk alone can't be that expensive
I think he did well, the numbers spoke to the dragons as did the risk. I think securing 2 dragons for investment was a good decision even at the 40% rate. I'm glad he didn't try to bamboozle the dragons, he was honest and realistic.
Indeed, and they only look like this is shit this won't be good, so I will give you 200£. But everyone is worried that they won't get an offer if they ask for a realistic price for their realistic stake...
I own a small company that is quickly expanding, and we have reached 25 employee just this month. To give you a perspective, our 2016 revenue is projected to reach 11 million at the end of the year. So yea, I am definitely broke and i don't know anything. Sure, i ain't as rich as these dragons nor am i as "successful" as they are, but i would never let them rip me off, not like that.
Are you crazy? His finances showed he was in the red at least from an equity position. Only traded 3 months... And he was about to go and spend more money... He got a good deal and so did they.
basicly they are investing in the swedish model. and this guy is getting in on the action by presenting the idea. Sweden is even getting paid to handle the day to day garbage of western europe. other countries pays sweden to ship garbage over to sweden because other countries only have the other option of landfills, and as he says, high taxes. but sweden is recycling basicly 95% of the garbage we are paid to take care of. and we recycle what is possible to recycle through a sorter, and the rest is burned in a specific process that is enviormentally safe, turning it into energy. this is a win win for swedes. the rest of the world needs to join in. in my town of Örebro, our old landfill actually contains about 600 million worth of precious metal... there is sick money in investing in the care of garbage and recycle.
Interesting.. In the city where I live in Sweden we have something like this but we have different coloured waste bags, throw all bags in same bin then a machine at the plant sort the separate the different coloured bags..
It's funny how transparent these people are when they're ripping off the inventor. I mean it doesn't take an expert to read their body language and expressions lol
@@mohammedyakub3760 It's only fair if you think a valuation of a business should only be based on current profits. Not to mention, many startup business' don't even make a profit in their first year.
He should have made the option of buying back a percentage of equity after return of investment over a fixed number of months. 7.5 percent from each would have been a fair negotiation.
200k was a great deal, today prowaste is a highly respected company in the trade and last i heard were expanding into other avenues, skips i think too.
Construction waste management? What's to manage that isn't already being taken care of? I work in construction and since i started 10 years ago, waste is segregated into separate waste skips/bins, and is then taken away to be recycled. Soooo?
It's an old episode, first shown 8 years ago and they started the company in 2006. Sounds like you might not have been around to see the problem this company (and others) solved, because they'd already solved it.
I have been in construction since June, 2005. Rest assured, it has been the same system in place in the past 11 years, and during this time it has been the same old companies. Also, we primarily use skips, not wheelie bins as the gentleman suggests using.
Seems to me the lad got his pants pulled down @ 40% going on what he had turned over in a short space of time. I'd of walked away and looked at other investment options.
moving your shareholder loans into equity serves more than one purpose.. sure the loan is lost and never reimbursed Tax free.. but the value of the Paid Up Capital is increased to a MORE realistic value that will lessen a Taxable capital Gain when the shares are sold. to say Duncan. when u sell shares u must review the PUC to determine if there will be a Tax able Capital Gain (even during dragon's dens, the selling of shares May well carry capital gains' taxes to be paid to the UK govt before the cash on hand can be used to purchase what ever is required.. / note that shares can be then dividend each quarter out of the Retained Earnings (have to be positive and cant dividend to shareholders with out also paying corporate taxes first).. good ep.. //
its about the value brought by experienced dragons & 40% is warranted especially with this company being in early phases in a very competitive market ya douche
I can almost hear in the background: "Hello, it's Jenny here, I'm not actually on the show for another few seasons, but I just wanted to say, I'm out".
$200,000 for 40% is a bargain. Mind that this money is not charity money to help grow business, its a liability that the owner must ensure to grow its wealth, so that defines the term investment. At beginning the owner invests $70,000+ for 50% equity so judging by turnover value $100,000 for 20% is a safe bet. Plus the purposal to grow the company is not such big scale that demands huge cash. I am not expert in finance but i assume $100,000 they expect turnover for 6 to 8 years, at least share profit of $1,500 per month.
JEdirect your definitely right and we spent 12 months with lawyers fine tuning before agreement. The pressure and temperature in the studio got the better of us!
Samara Weaving that literally makes no sense though what you just said implies that i was confused by my own comment which i left no indication of. you can't even grasp anything close to an understanding of what other people are saying it's just strange how stupid you are
It seems many of those offering comments have little idea about percentages. 100% of a small number is still a small number, 60% of a very large number is still a very large number.
both debroah and duncan resigned from this company in 2011, not surprising as the company wasnt making money at the time, and still isnt to this day apart from 2014/15/16 where it was betwene 600-900kthen took a tumble (all numbers are assesstsand not profits). paul also has a company called WALTER WEIR LTD which has been on the level of being strick off a few times
You really can't tell much from the accumulation profits. Perhaps they decided to pay themselves large wages, so the vulture dragons at the time weren't getting much, and decided to keep that level of wage
@@Mathewmartialart they have more than 50% shares. Even if their salary can't be changed, nothing stops them getting bonuses which would be voted on, which only needs 51%. Until they edited the articles of association from the standard one...
I really hope this business partnership does well, now and in future. These dragon's do drive very hard bargain; they want a lot of equity.Its like interest rate on higher purchase & the dragon run it like a higher purchase agreement, which you don't want when you are trying get on second run of ladder in your business, you need as much help has possible.
Went under unfortunately. Poor management. Sad because he seemed to be a decent guy. From what I understand cheating on his wife caused a lot of his problems.
In fact it appears that the 2 Dragons resigned as directors in 2011 and since then the company has taken off and is doing extremely well under the two original directors. companycheck.co.uk/company/05897697/PROWASTE-MANAGEMENT-SERVICES-LIMITED/companies-house-data So it seems that the real story is actually more interesting than your made up one.
As a Nature friendly company, couldn't he have gone to the administration to ask for help!?? Or to the bank ... but that another strategy which is more complicated ... They could have asked my advice ...
Its going very well thank you for asking. The company has grown year on year. Even through a hard recession period in the UK when Construction projects were on and off like a light switch. When we were on the show the turnover was £350,000 we are now up to £2 million so headed in the right direction. We have picked up some great customers and have recently launched a nationwide skip hire service called proskips.co.uk. Thanks for asking.....
Good call Paul, trading more equity than originally offered, for the valuable experience and connections of Duncan and Deborah, maybe try and negotiate a lower equity percentage if revenue targets are met in the coming years. Good effort and well done for being a young and successful entrepreneur!
Why just construction company waste disposal bins. Even South Africa has these bins in most of our residential areas. No, the municipalities don't own them. They are privately owned and even little kids make use of them.
The problem is. Most people of the home domestic kind, don't care about what which bin takes. Some will stuff down the bottom of the bin, what's not intended and cover with what should be there, so disgusting the fact. They don't really give a f##k!
what a wonderful idea, reducing waste is extremely important so I'm glad that the large amount of money was spent on this business(even though equity was quite steep).
I wouldn't ask any of these arseholes for help. Too many principles so i would be a terrible business owner. I would tell Theo he's out before he spoke. Horrible little scrote
@Epoch plus5 not really. Just couldn't be treated the way these folk treat people. Is that an issue? I am sure a lot more on here have that self respect too
What people need to understand is that they invest alot of money in his company, and they will help it to grow overtime if its successful and he will end up making more money because of it. Yeas it may seem shitty, but they risk alot of money partnering up with him, so they do have a right to shares. And now some of the load is also of his shoulders, because they will help him.
Sadly the company didn't grow and they (the dragons) left in 2011, the company was given back to the guy and his mate at 50% each and has grown big time and is worth millions.. The Dragons actually fucked up and now this man is set for life
He did not need them but sadly he did not know it. They did however and took advantage of his inexperience. Once he makes his first million he will be sick as pike he gave away 40% of his business for £200,000.

As a Nature friendly company, couldn't he have gone to the administration to ask for help!?? Or to the bank ... but that another strategy which is more complicated ... They could have asked my advice ...
What a fucked up system we live under. Half of your idea for some money I have
5:31 sold - naughty Deborah ! That look !
Will Mitchell I saw and felt that “decision made moment” you have highlighted
@@TheTriformationT After me :)
Its going very well thank you for asking. The company has grown year on year. Even through a hard recession period in the UK when Construction projects were on and off like a light switch. When we were on the show the turnover was £350,000 we are now up to £2 million so headed in the right direction. We have picked up some great customers and have recently launched a nationwide skip hire service called proskips.co.uk. Thanks for asking.....
Good call Paul, trading more equity than originally offered, for the valuable experience and connections of Duncan and Deborah, maybe try and negotiate a lower equity percentage if revenue targets are met in the coming years. Good effort and well done for being a young and successful entrepreneur!
Why just construction company waste disposal bins. Even South Africa has these bins in most of our residential areas. No, the municipalities don't own them. They are privately owned and even little kids make use of them.
40%. You're breaking my balls...
Why we dont have this yet? Omg we need this at normal homes to
The problem is. Most people of the home domestic kind, don't care about what which bin takes.
Some will stuff down the bottom of the bin, what's not intended and cover with what should be there, so disgusting the fact.
They don't really give a f##k!
its always like this on this programme they want a large stake in the company
They want a large stake as a result of the risk involved. They're not asking for a high stake on something low risk....
40% is disgusting its highway robbery
net earnings isnt the only thing to value a company, look at any starting company (snapchat/ twitter/ amazon)
I would imagine there are alot of grants you can get in this business.I think he sold himself far too cheap.
what a wonderful idea, reducing waste is extremely important so I'm glad that the large amount of money was spent on this business(even though equity was quite steep).
LOL, that's not much :D In the new German version, they already invested 750.000€.
Alright big time
Is Deborah still involved? The company seems to be very profitable since this was recorded several years ago.
Paul is really good!
Fucken !! Clever..mate awesome pitch very sharp..
And also, is Paul giving away 40% of the entire company? Is he left with only 10%? (assuming he cant give away Colin's part)
both of their shares shrink equitably
What the guy above me said lolz yea 30 he will own
+Andrew Summers unless his partner says he didn't agree to this deal hahah
He wouldn't be able to make a deal with investers like this if the Co owner didn't agree with it.
GiggsIsLegend you act like he did this without his partners knowledge. he clearly called and talked it threw.
That kid's going to be the next Hizinga.
One dragon : I think this is a "rubbish" idea....... Waste pun 😂😂
At about 9:00 Peter also says he doesn't want to "waste his time"
I'd just *bin* the lot of them and *skip* on out of there with that *trash* talk 😅
Is this really the largest investment in the shows history? That's very low compared to shark tank
The dragons are straight up thieves
You except loan sharks to be fair?
That's what good businessmen do. His negotiation skills were poor. Always ask for 10% more than you want.
@Epoch plus5 who?
I wouldn't ask any of these arseholes for help. Too many principles so i would be a terrible business owner. I would tell Theo he's out before he spoke. Horrible little scrote
@Epoch plus5 not really. Just couldn't be treated the way these folk treat people. Is that an issue? I am sure a lot more on here have that self respect too
The rich are getting richer!
The poor getting poorer, and that's how they like it.
What people need to understand is that they invest alot of money in his company, and they will help it to grow overtime if its successful and he will end up making more money because of it. Yeas it may seem shitty, but they risk alot of money partnering up with him, so they do have a right to shares. And now some of the load is also of his shoulders, because they will help him.
Hiccup could train these guys.
The fuck just happened they he gave away half of his company? o.O
Well played dragons...
Rick Dallas needed em to expand I guess
Sadly the company didn't grow and they (the dragons) left in 2011, the company was given back to the guy and his mate at 50% each and has grown big time and is worth millions.. The Dragons actually fucked up and now this man is set for life
40% is not half
Can you install a bog in one so I can live in it?
Real genuine nice guy. Hope it worked out for him
Thank you Tommy - We are always grateful for comments from nice people.
@@SkipHireLondonPro are you doing OK.
This is already in eastern Europe for years...
We already have those in Sweden...
He did not need them but sadly he did not know it. They did however and took advantage of his inexperience. Once he makes his first million he will be sick as pike he gave away 40% of his business for £200,000.
40% you may aswell give em the company lol
