What Happened to Belly Busters After Dragons’ Den?
Belly Busters appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 2. The business was a board game encouraging children to eat healthy food. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The current status of the business is not publicly known.
The Pitch
Sue Andrews walked into the Den in 2006 with a board game encouraging children to eat healthy food. They were asking for N/A.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Sue Andrews left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Belly Busters did not survive long-term. The company has since been dissolved.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
Is Belly Busters Still in Business?
No. Belly Busters is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
