CBC SHOW RETURNS TO SEARCH FOR CANADIAN COMPANIES IN NEED
The BIG Decision Matches Struggling Canadian Businesses with Top Investors
The producers of CBC’s hit show Dragons’ Den are looking for Canadian companies to participate in the second season of the reality business show The BIG Decision. Canada’s top investors are on a mission: to spend their time AND their money to turn around struggling Canadian companies. These wealthy investors have founded companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, they will roll up their sleeves and visit the factories, shops, and offices of Canadian companies in need - providing expert business advice and a possible financial investment. CBC is sending out the call to business owners who would like to participate in the second season of this show. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to partner with a Dragon and receive national exposure for your company.
