Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Legato After Dragons’ Den?
Legato appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 2. The business was a wax based hair removal. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Susan Ayton walked into the Den in 2006 with a wax based hair removal. They were asking for £150,000.
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 Susan Ayton left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Legato is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2006, 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 Legato Still in Business?
Yes. Legato appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
