Paul Thomas is asking for £75,000 in hopes to cultivate black truffles in the UK but surprisingly, Duncan has never heard of them. 'Mycorrhizal Systems' say it will take 5 - 7 years in order for an investor to see a return on their money...
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.

Not too bad - given it's been 15 years his profit has been fairly consistent - for last year was 120,000 (which is great). Past few years range routinely between 30,000- 90-odd thousand profit. beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/05363860/filing-history I don't think it'd been a wise investment by dragons though, as 25% of the profit isn't a huge amount considering in the same timeframe, investing in S&P would have netted 334,000.

It did take some time to achieve a return, but the increase in value of the land alone would have justified the investment. The business that operates on the land made it an insanely good investment.

@@LM-kd2zm It's really not "massively successful." In 2019 they had profits of just under £127k having effectively broke even in 2018. Most years it's been well below £100k and rarely goes above that. Seeing as he was asking for £75k investment then, going on the £127k from last year, they'd need to have the lion's share (or Dragon's, I guess) of the business in order to see a return. It really wasn't an investment you'd see returns on so Peter wasn't wrong with the risk he mentioned... especially as it was likely filmed in 2005 and 15 years later barely making profits...

Truffles have a symbiotic relationship with the roots of a tree. No one has been able to grow truffles on a industrial level because you need to right soil and the right tree that they grow on. He basically said I want to buy some land where I know truffles grow. If you could grow truffles he would grow them in a warehouse in London. He will also need truffle sniffing dog which would cost you 20k.

Truffle are mainly on the roots of well established trees . The age of the truffles also acquire the distinct taste .

Selling truffles to rich people should be the opposite of selling ice to eskimos. Bizarre objections from Peter and Duncan.

You can already buy inocculated trees, hazelnuts for instance. Growing time is indeed very long and you need a soil that is fit.

@@steveetienne indeed, climate conditions are important too. And there are different kinds of black truffles. China produces big volumes of a kind that is regarded as a lower quality. They are cheaper too and sometimes mixed in to make more profit.

Soil, type of tree and many other factors. We have the summer truffle in UK. They will be stolen by a bloke and a well trained dog. You can buy them cheaply.
