The search for Lord Sugar's next business partner begins, with the hopeful candidates getting whittled down over the next 12 weeks until only one remains. To demonstrate just how much is at stake, Lord Sugar summons the aspiring entrepreneurs to his boardroom, where he does something he has never done before.

On the other team, fiery personality clashes over negotiations quickly rock the boat.
