I know of several "companies" who have started up on Instagram selling Adidas and "casual" in the football sense, clothing.
Owners are making £££££, people would rather buy clothing/trainers from companies than eBay.
Companies use Ebay to sell their new products too. Which is a dedicated sales outlet rather than a photo social media website.Owners are making £££££, people would rather buy clothing/trainers from companies than eBay.

I don’t believe the two finalists have the best business plan. Controversially I believe the BBC went super woke regardless.
Not sure about woke - you had two women with businesses selling cakes and clothes. Hardly breaking down the gender stereotypes!

Protein Drink was just an ideas
Pyjamas anyone can do them
Childrens Clothes reseller? Vinted, eBay all do the same
Just had a look at the Instagram accounts, the protein drink thing is launching in a few weeks and the PJ company is already live (with the design from the show, amongst others).Pyjamas anyone can do them

I wouldn't be surprised if the PJs end up doing better than the cakes, even without the investment.

But how much will be because she is a z-list celebrity? no doubt she will make some short term cash but long term? I wouldn't be surprised if the PJs end up doing better than the cakes, even without the investment.

Did he not invest in a dessert business last year?
Not sure which year, but it was certainly a recent series. Winner was Alana I think, her company was Really Rich.To my mind, he went for Harpreet for that reason. One can only assume that despite the comments from the pros after the pitches about how that market was getting saturated, he can see that Alana’s business is in fact still doing well and wants a bigger slice of the market. It’s a business he now knows well, if he didn’t think it could make money he wouldn’t have picked her.
I just cannot fathom who buys this stuff. I do love cake, and I’d happily spend £4 on a slice in a nice cafe when you have interaction with staff and paying for the pleasure of being in a nice environment. I did so yesterday in the cafe in Edensor, Chatsworth.
But £25 delivered for 4 cakes. There is no personal touch there. It’s not even Harpreet’s staff making them. It seems she contracts that one out.
The Haribo is just ridiculous. £6 delivered with Prime please.

Some figures on here, the 3 food ones (including the last pre-covid winner Carina) have not done well. - https://www.nationalworld.com/culture/television/w...
Fascinating stuff, those who clearly had an eye on actual business plans before the Instagrammers became the bulk of contestants have done extremely well (for themselves and Alan Sugar). The 'personalities' from the past few years who seem to have had business plans as an afterthought...not so much. I hope Sugar is being paid well by the BBC for this larger swing towards 'personalities', because it sure as hell isn't making him much money after the show.The ones that made the interviews this year were, in my opinion, the weakest the show has ever seen. How somebody can get to that stage with little more than a pamphlet that doesn't even contain cost of production is completely beyond me. It's like somebody in the production team decided they wanted Love Island on BBC One.

The two businesses should combine, they would self promote each other. Customers eat more cake and then need to buy bigger sized pyjamas. Buy pyjamas and get 2 x free cakes. Buy cakes and get voucher for pyjamas...etc. Perfect business model.There is any nimber of factories in China making anything from lightbulbs to doorstops. You place an order, they stick the things in your packaging, ship them to you and you sell them. There is nothing unique about those pyjamas, which is why that inexplicably grumpy woman was able to buy the same thing off the high street.
Pile it high, etc, and there's a small business opportunity there. But there's no IP.
