What Happened to Bing Bang Bong After Dragons’ Den?

Bing Bang Bong appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 7. The business was a design and manufacture of outdoor musical instruments. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2015.

The Pitch

Paul Marshall walked into the Den in 2006 with a design and manufacture of outdoor musical instruments. 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 Paul Marshall left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Bing Bang Bong did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2015, some 9 years after the pitch.

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 Bing Bang Bong Still Available?

No. Bingbangbong Ltd is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
