I'm not sure if the situation is explained in the programme, how the finance is transferred. Whether the business owner walks out with a cheque immediately or if the money is given as the bills arrive. My impression is that the "Dragon" is not too hands on, for this isn't going to be their main business interest. They examine the company, advise, introduce to contacts, provide the agreed finance, etc.. If I were to guess I'd suspect the money transferred to the business books fairly early on.
Not sure about the percentage thing but eve if the Dragon agrees on TV to invest it's only on a 'in principle' basis.

After the show the Dragon and the Company with have many in depth meetings and Company scrutinized before they hand over any money.

Quite a few of those shown on TV to be given the money did not get it once the Dragon dug a little deeper.

Yes. I would imagine it is mostly if not totally fake money.
It is fake money, saw Duncan Banatyne say it was on another program.
