Have you got a great idea but struggling to fund it?
Has your business friend got a great idea - but can't raise the funds?
Got a business venture underway - but need to bring in Dragons' Den expertise and funding?
The April Show was pleased to welcome The BBC filming the Dragons' Den 3 minute online pitches of City entrepreneurs seeking funds for new and continued start-ups.
The last Show, 14 April 2010, the Business Show team were inundated with calls when the announcement that BBC Dragons’ Den would be coming to film their famous 3 minute online pitches from would be inventors, part-time entrepreneurs and even businesses seeking second round financing.
The day was action packed with filming, from the start of the Show, non-stop, until the end of The Show day, by the professional BBC film crew, with would-be entrepreneurs coming and going for their film slots, filmed in a private room, away from any competitors eyes.
Now they all wait to hear if their film is successfull for the BBC website inclusion and, perhaps, even more importantly whether they have made it to 'The Den'
Brighton & Hove Business look forward to some of those films being shown on the BBC website, and fingers crossed, they all make it through to 'The Den'.

Business Start Up help and advice
Julie Stanford, Ex-President Brighton & Hove Chamber of Commerce filmed providing professional advice and tips for business start-ups, November 2009.
Brighton and Hove is a vibrant, young city with a highly educated, graduate workforce, higher than most other parts of the UK. Naturally, this lends itself too, to an entrepreneurial spirit and the City has one of the highest business start up rates now, in the UK.
Most of us possibly wished we had done things in a different way when starting up a business.
Starting a business isn't easy and can be made easier with some of the available help from the Brighton and Hove business community.
Our new Show start up web page highlights some of the support organisations, associations, and commercial businesses that can help you start your business in 2010 to grow, and information about some of our previous business start up exhibitors.
