What Happened to Expert Answers After Dragons’ Den?
Expert Answers appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 9. The business was a fee based legal advice. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
James Mather and Lloyd Barrett walked into the Den in 2012 with a fee based legal advice. 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 James Mather and Lloyd Barrett left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Expert Answers is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2012, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Expert Answers Still in Business?
Yes. Expert Answers appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
