Advice for adding info to pitches tables

I noticed some details were recently left as as 'unknown' and others blank; missing info such as what episode. Please search for the entrepreneurs feedback on their appearance/s as well as trusted sources which may well have left a review within a week of the episodes broadcast, using the date the article was posted and then judging by 'last weeks episode/sunday's ep, etc' you can find the episodes broadcast date easily via the ratings column on the page or the BBC dragons den website.

On companies house statuses, most companies based in Ireland are unavailable on the website but can be found on https://companycheck.co.uk/. Sometimes the names are slightly different so may require some digging of the person who appeared on the show via companies house, suffixing the locations they operate mentioned on the show or feedback posted since.

When no website is available or the link is now dead, please use N/A in the column as oppose to leaving it blank.

Hope this helps

Excessive use of Companies House, list impossible to maintain anyway

Companies House does not verify the content submitted to it.
That a company remains on the register doesn't mean it's actively trading. It can be dormant, or filing penny returns.
Even if we assume all the content is accurate and reflected active trading status, it's all {{as of}} whenever the editor last checked the source. That's ~600 refs which can potentially be outdated. After all, a company can stop trading (and I suspect many of these marked as 'active' have, and probably don't have long lifespans anyway).

S18E5 - chewable tooth paste

What happened with S18E5, the rejected offer about chewable tooth paste? I had no idea that was a thing and I hate thinking that I use too much paste, basically I’m spitting money down the sink. 2A02:2455:4E0:BA00:459A:34EC:6BBE:8BE6 (talk) 21:57, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, if you want to find feedback on how the company is doing since broadcast it's best to search yourself. It's not always possible to house all info on how the company has done since, but following my completion of on-going updates to previous series I will look to add to the successful people column on businesses that exceeded expectations.

'Successful ' deals

In some seasons approximately half the deals have not been completed after film. Therefore, in the statistics section maybe it should be worded differently, maybe 'agreed deals' or something similar? Jonpatterns (talk) 11:59, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
