Read a full profile of The Apprentice UK candidate Chisola Chitambala, including her age, occupation, business idea and a Q&A.

Chisola Chitambala

Age: 31

Occupation: Owner, Virtual Assistant Company

From: Essex

What has been your biggest business success?: "One of my biggest business successes to date was when, within just six months of launching, a prominent company approached us with an acquisition offer. Despite the tempting offer and the significant financial incentive, my business partner and I declined. Looking back, I am grateful we did, as it allowed us to stay true to our vision and ultimately build a business that is still thriving."

Describe your business plan: "Imagine a world where entrepreneurs no longer need to navigate the labyrinth of traditional networking events or plead their case to disinterested investors. Our platform revolutionises the way entrepreneurs connect with vetted investors, eliminating the need for tedious bank loans or endless presentations."

Why should Lord Sugar invest in you?: "I believe I deserve Lord Sugar's investment because I am a natural leader with an unwavering commitment to excellence. I consistently give 110% in everything I do, and my ability to overcome challenges is unmatched. No problem is too great for me to find a solution to, and I thrive in high-pressure situations."

The Apprentice returns this Thursday, January 30 at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
