Look for Pavan Beauty on AmazonFull story →Pavan Dhanjal pitched in series 21, turning henna, a beauty ritual with deep South Asian roots, into a polished, retail-ready product line.
Her business is doing well today, with a real physical counter inside one of London's flagship department stores.
Trading Equity for Know-How
Dhanjal wanted £50,000 in return for a big 40 percent chunk of her company, the sort of trade that suggests a founder who cared more about a backer's contacts and experience than about keeping ownership tight.
Touker Suleyman funded the whole amount. Decades spent running Hawes & Curtis and Ghost meant he had actually dealt with the margins, manufacturing and shop placement problems Dhanjal was about to face, beyond just knowing how to promote a brand.
A Real Counter, Not Just an Online Shop
Dhanjal has since opened a Henna Bar inside Selfridges, a genuinely significant physical placement for a young beauty label, and Harrods separately gave her the chance to design one of its window displays.
Department stores do not keep handing over floor space to products that are not selling, so a working, ongoing concession like this counts as one of the stronger signs of a healthy business.
A Discrepancy In The Equity Figure
Other write-ups of this pitch describe the ask starting at 20 percent and climbing to 40 as the deal was finalised, whereas our own records show 40 percent from the start.
Whichever version of that history is right, the outcome is not in question, Suleyman handed over the full £50,000, and the brand he backed is still running a real shop counter today.
