What was the name of the BBC's spin-off series in which Dragons' Den entrepreneurs received follow-up advice?

The story behind the answer

The BBC spin-off featuring follow-up advice for Dragons' Den entrepreneurs was called Dragons' Den: On Tour.

The programme extended the main format beyond the studio pitch. Rather than concentrating only on whether a Dragon would invest, it followed entrepreneurs and examined how businesses developed after appearing on television. This gave viewers a closer look at the practical challenges that follow a successful pitch.

A Dragons' Den appearance does not automatically mean that an investment is completed. Offers are normally subject to due diligence, valuation checks and legal negotiations, and some deals shown on screen later collapse. Follow-up programming therefore provides useful context that the original pitch cannot show.

The title is easy to confuse with other Dragons' Den specials and online material, but On Tour was the named BBC spin-off. It should not be confused with the main programme's regional audition events or with international versions of the format.
