The programme-makers, Ricochet South, are on the hunt for those currently at the initial setting-up stage (your business must not yet be trading). The new series will follow ten businesses during the make or break first year.

“Following the last series of Risking It All, the businesses featured have gone on to much greater success. The exposure a 50-minute television documentary can give to a business is unprecedented in terms of publicity. The previous series gathered viewer ratings peaking at 3.5 million,” claims Ricochet South.

If you are about to change your life and start your own business, or if you are giving up the security of a monthly pay cheque to gamble on being your own boss and wish to apply, contact Ricochet South on 01273-648396, or email riskingitall@ricochet.co.uk.
