Our read
The Hub verdict
Paul Turner walked in wanting £80,000 for a third of his sausage-making business, a price tag that put the whole operation at roughly £240,000. What makes this one satisfying to track is how little haggling shows up in the record: he asked for £80,000 at 33.3 percent and left with precisely that, Peter Jones taking the stake.
No slice of extra equity was prised away, no cash trimmed. Deals that close on a founder's own terms are rarer than the show's editing suggests, so a clean match like this is worth noting. What the aired episode cannot tell us is what the kitchen did next, and that is the part we would still confirm before pointing you anywhere to buy.
He named his price and the Den met it exactly.
Worth knowing: Deal terms reflect the aired episode and are public record. Availability can change, and we only add a buy link once we have confirmed a current listing.
