Tony and Jaimie Smith are pitching their tuk-tuk hailing service which will be based in Liverpool. They're seeking an investment of £65,000 in return for a 20% equity stake in 'City TukTuks'. After a painful start, Touker puts the trio's business model to one side and places himself as a typical tourist...
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

I don’t imagine that either of them had leadership roles, or held any sort of responsibility in the Navy. I know a few Royal Navy officers and former military and they’re all competent and put together people with high intelligence. When faced with this situation, even if they didn’t know what turnover meant, they would have deduced what the dragons would want to know and would certainly know, by heart, the basics of their business. These types of people aren’t normally your usual incompetent bureaucrat

UPDATE: (2016) Liverpool’s Tuks Tuks have reached the end of the road and are due to stop their tours of the city later this month. The company says it cannot continue from their current base at the Albert Dock and have been unable to find an alternative location, although the council says they have offered other sites which have been turned down.

They’ve literally just had this idea, and skipped probably 100 steps to have the product without doing any kind of research, any kind of business education and no actual plans in place and fully expected everyone to just fall over each other to invest. That would be like a tradesperson starting a bakery without any previous knowledge and experience and expecting it to flourish by hiring a homemaker as GM whose only experience is that they like eating bread 🤷‍♀️

How do you get a Tuk Tuk past road safety laws in the UK? i.e. collision tests, airbags, seatbelts etc. I've ridden in many different types of Tuk Tuks throughout S.E. Asia and they are basically a metal, fibreglass & vinyl coffin in a collision.
