Fancy being Lord Sugar’s new business partner?

The 2024 season of The Apprentice might be coming to a close – but the show is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

In fact, there’s already a chance to apply for the next season of the hit TV show.

Whether you’re an experienced entrepreneur with a business-savvy mind, someone that’s always fancied themselves as someone that would do well in the field or have a business idea that you think could be the next big thing – everyone is encouraged to apply for the new series.

In fact, as long as ‘you think you’ve got the talent and confidence to impress Britain’s toughest backer’, the BBC want to hear from you.

The application asks ‘could you be his next investment? If you think you’ve got the talent and confidence to impress Britain’s toughest backer, the process starts here.

‘The winning candidate will receive an investment and go into a 50:50 business with Lord Sugar.’

‘Fighting it out for his investment candidates will take part in twelve tough tasks to win one life-changing opportunity.’

There’s a few simple questions to answer as part of the initial process, with your address and current job title making up the bulk of the data entry, but the two bigguns where you’ll have your chance to set yourself apart from the rest are the following:

Why should you be Lord Sugar’s business partner?

What’s the most impressive thing you’ve ever done in business?

Applications close on 1 December 2024 at 23:59 and successful candidates will be contacted for interviews in the new year.

Interviews will be taking place in the north as well as London, so successful candidates won’t have to travel too far either. At least two interview dates have been pencilled for Leeds, Manchester and/or Birmingham.

From here there will be additional interviews to decide on the final candidates before filming takes place for ten to twelve weeks from 7 April 2025 – 22 June 2025.
