I think when the companies are at that point, knowing they have been on Channel 4 and have the investment from a successful investor they will be re-motivated as they can once again believe the business will be a success, something they haven't been able to do for some time!
The guy at the chair company looked like he had already lost interest by bringing in a manager to run the business - I thought his pitch to House of Fraser was pretty poor tbh! When they asked why they had used faux leather and he just said because it looks the same, surely they could say the same thing about veneer wood over solid oak!
