What Happened to Easylegs Automotive After Dragons’ Den?
Easylegs Automotive appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 8. The business was a supporting legs for lorry trailers. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2013.
The Pitch
Jim Jamieson walked into the Den in 2011 with a supporting legs for lorry trailers. They were asking for £80,000.
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 Jim Jamieson left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Easylegs Automotive did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2013, only 2 years after the Den appearance.
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 Easylegs Automotive Still in Business?
No. Easylegs Automotive is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
