Dragons' Den reject 'offered £90m for Professional Gains
A businessman who stormed off Dragons' Den after they snubbed him has now been offered a huge £90million for his healthy ready meal company.
Marco Hajikypri was furious when the entrepreneurs rejected his health food business on the BBC2 show and said today: 'I didn't want their money anyway'.
He told Peter Jones that he would regret his decision - and now he claims he was right and they are the fools.
The Dragons said he had overvalued his company at £2million, but Marco says he has just turned down an offer of £90million for Professional Gains from Coventry-born multi-millionaire Jojar Singh Dhinsa.
Marco, from Great Barr, Birmingham, hopes it will soon be a £1billion business.

He said: 'It's not worth that yet, but the potential investor - Coventry multi-millionaire Jojar Singh Dhinsa - has the vision to see what I could be making in a few years time. Unlike the Dragons.'
Marco went on Dragons' Den last year asking for £125,000 for five per cent of the business but they sent him away without a penny

He set up the business two years ago in a unit in West Bromwich, employing 20 people and preparing 7,000 healthy meals a week which are delivered to customers' doors.
It has now expanded to three units and employees 33 people.

Marco, 28, says: 'The business is now valued at around £16 million, when the Dragons didn't even think it was worth £2 million.
'I've certainly proved them wrong. I am glad they turned me down now, as I have done very well without their help, I didn't want their money anyway I just wanted their contacts, but I've worked hard to achieve success on my own.
'I have turned down the offer to buy the business, even at that huge figure, because I want to build it up myself. I think it's going to be worth a billion pounds.
'That's because of my multi-level marketing system which gives people the opportunity to earn money and eat for free.'

Customers can just go to the website and order tailor-made fresh meals, with balanced protein, carbs, fat and vegetables like Italian chicken and sweet potato, salmon and brown rice or beef stew and kale.Â
They cost an average of £4.90.
Or they can subscribe to the Pro Gains app and also get paid a £65 bonus for every time they introduce someone else to the service.
Marco said: 'All you have to do is share the app with four people, who each get four people on board and so on.
'Within three months you will be eating for free and by month seven you should be earning a minimum of £5,277 a month.
'There's no contract so you can cancel at a ny time and you don't have to get other people involved if you don't want to.'
As well as being an entrepreneur, he also has a website in his name claiming he is a model and actor. It is not known if it is genuine.
Next to his picture the biography says: 'wel im ambicious in life wanna achive at everythink i do. im great at catch ppls attention ive been doin sales for a number of year so i think my method of sales works in all i do in my life i enjoy playin football goin gym keepin fitt.I just want 2 become the next big star'.
