How does The Apprentice 2019 work?
A total of sixteen candidates will take part in a series of challenges to win a £250,000 investment for their business.
They must impress Lord Sugar, as well as Baroness Brady and Claude Littner to be in with a chance of bagging the prize or face being “fired” and eliminated from the competition.
The 15th series will see the contestants travel around the world, competing in a number of tasks to try and secure Lord Sugar as a business partner.
In the first week, they were sent to Cape Town in South Africa to create, set up and run tours in the country’s capital city.
Other destinations have included a trip to Finland to create an advertising campaign and hitting the streets of Oxford and Cambridge to find and buy nine items.
What is the prize for The Apprentice winner?
The Apprentice winner will secure a £250,000 investment into their business idea and a 50/50 partnership with Lord Sugar.
Sian Gabbidon, who won the series in 2018, got an investment from Lord Sugar for her swimwear brand.
“I believe in my business and myself. I think I proved to him [Lord Sugar] I was a really strong contestant,” she told to The Sun Online after her win.
“As a business woman I always aim high. I did get people saying I will never set up a functioning business in Leeds and I did it.”
