The Apprentice Returns

Sir Allen Sugar comes back to drive 16 more would-be apprentices to their wit's end in a strategic business battle to the finish. The ultimate prize, as always, is a six-figure salary along with the chance to work with Sir Allen himself.

In the first episode, Sir Allen gave the contestants the simple task of selling coffee on the streets of London while participating on opposing teams, hastily named Eclipse and Stealth.

Jadine, a 27 year old financial advisor from Middlesex led the men's team, Eclipse whilst Andy, a 26 year old car sales manager from Scotland led the women on team Stealth.

Jadine and the men of Eclipse made a valiant victory over Stealth, selling 55 coffees to Stealth's 11. Andy and the ladies of Stealth just couldn't pull it together during the challenge suffering from the usual mishaps such as over ordering stock, choosing locations with poor foot-fall and much miscommunication.

The Apprentice is great fodder for small businesses as it shows that even the so-called ‘top business minds of the country' (each potential apprentice fought off over 10,000 other applicants to earn their place) can come a cropper and suffer from the same mistakes that each and every one of us can make.

The apprentice has only aired two shows thus far but already three contestants have been fired by the bearded-business man, Sir Allen.

Having watched each episode of this series and all the episodes from previous series, we compiled a small list of errors which the contestants make time and time again

  1. Is Your Business Idea any Good?
    Most people start a business based on an idea. In some cases this idea is an improvement to an existing idea, in others it’s a carbon copy of a tried and tested idea and in fewer still the idea is brand new and innovative. If you’re idea is to take a tried and tested concept and replicate it in a new area (geographical of industrial) then your task is easier than the other two options but still fraught with pitfalls.
