Business Services is one of the most-pitched corners of the Den. Across 21 seasons, 30 business services businesses have made the walk down the hallway, which makes it the number 9-largest category on the show. All that volume means the dragons have seen every version of the business services pitch, and that raises the bar for the founders who break through.
Of those 30 pitches, 28 closed a deal on air. That is a 93% success rate, comfortably above the show-wide average of 29%. The dragons clearly like this category. The products are easy to understand, easy to demo, and easy to sell. The average business services check came in around £95K.
The biggest moment in the category so far was Igloo, which landed £160,000 for 22.5% in Season 4. Deals that size are rare anywhere on the show. They happen when a founder shows up with real revenue, a product the competition cannot easily copy, and numbers that hold up under a grilling. The rest of the top of the list tends to share those traits, so it is worth studying if you want to understand what a winning business services pitch actually looks like.
Duncan Bannatyne has been the most active dragon in business services, taking part in 4 of the category's deals. If you were a business services founder, that is the dragon you would want to aim your pitch at. Dragons gravitate to the categories where their own retail relationships and operating experience pay off, and the deal history makes those preferences easy to see.
Not every business services pitch became a lasting business, but a good number did. We have confirmed 29 business services products from the Den that are still actively selling, and the standouts are listed below with direct links so you can check current pricing. These are the pitches that turned a few minutes of television into a real, ongoing business.
