Ace is young, enthusiastic and hardworking and has quit his job to focus on his business! He has developed a range of healthy seasonings and has come to the Tank seeking 80k for 10% equity.

Harry and Rod who have been mates for 50 years have joined forces on their business Squidezy. With patents in all markets the pair are interested in, they are in the Tank seeking 100k for 32% of their business. Who knew that recreational fisherman had a struggle preparing squid for consumption? This nifty invention by Rod, the design teacher, is colourful and fun – but is it a scalable business?

World renowned for dog grooming, Melanie has come to the Tank with her husband Cory and their plant derived dog grooming products. The non-toxic products look great and with five fluffy dogs on set, this pitch is definitely entertaining but this is a serious business with traction? They’re come seeking $150k for 20% equity, Glen seems like the obvious fit but is the market to cluttered to get a Shark’s attention?

Tell Naomi a little bit about your business by completing the questions below. (It will take less than 60 seconds)

Answering your #1 Biggest Business Challenge question tip: 

Go beyond just saying "Poor Cashflow" or "Unreliable Team". 

Instead, give Naomi details & specifics on how this is currently your #1 Biggest Business Challenge. 

I.e. "Every month I'm struggling to pay my bills on time because there just isn't consistent cash flow coming into the business. I've tried sticking to budgets in the past & pay myself less to keep some extra funds aside for emergencies, but still every month there seems to be another financial fire to be put out. I don't know what to do about it, so I'm just grinding it out."
