What Happened to Spot On Golf After Dragons’ Den?

Spot On Golf appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 5 Episode 2. The business was a golf training accessories. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2010.

The Pitch

Les Laing walked into the Den in 2007 with a golf training accessories. They were asking for £200,000 in exchange for 15% of the business.

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 Les Laing left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Spot On Golf did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2010, only 3 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 Spot On Golf Still in Business?

No. Spot On Golf is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
