What Happened to Stubbi and Co Ltd After Dragons’ Den?

Stubbi and Co Ltd appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 1 Episode 1. The business was a cigarette stub pouches. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2015.

The Pitch

Ian McCormack walked into the Den in 2005 with a cigarette stub pouches. 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 Ian McCormack left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Stubbi and Co Ltd did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2015, some 10 years after the pitch.

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 Stubbi and Co Ltd Still Available?

No. Stubbi & Co Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
