The Dragons are back and the keen entrepreneurs can't wait to enter the Den to make a pitch for an investment that

could make their business - and change their lives.



Here on the Red Button we get to peek behind the scenes for the inside story on the investments made in the Den each

week. What attracted the Dragons to the business? What did the other Dragons make of the deals? And why did the

entrepreneurs take the deal they did in the Den?
