Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Nit Not After Dragons’ Den?
Nit Not appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2021, Series 18 Episode 6. The business was a hair comb for nits and head lice. They secured investment from Tej Lalvani on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Eileen Hutchinson walked into the Den in 2021 with a hair comb for nits and head lice. They were asking for £40,000 in exchange for 30% of the business.
The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.
The Deal
A deal was struck on the show. Tej Lalvani offered £40,000 for 30%, and Eileen Hutchinson accepted.
It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.
What Happened After the Show
Nit Not is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 5 years since the pitch.
Is Nit Not Still in Business?
Yes. Nit Not appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
