Speaking about why she should win the £250K investment from Lord Alan Sugar, Faluso told the BBC: “I am a one-of-a-kind type of person, an investment in one that guarantees profit.
“With my people-focused attitude, I plan on building an empire in an ethical way, whilst raising up inspiring people along the way.”
Speaking about where she gets her drive for business from, Foluso revealed: “My passion for business comes from my mother who has owned shop in Manchester for 25 years – my entire life.
“I’ve always been inspired by her perseverance, and passion to keep growing and she’s inspired me to take a leap of faith and believe in myself.”
Faluso works as a project manager in her native Manchester.
Speaking about her career so far she said: “My biggest success to date is choosing to start a business aimed at helping young people.
“It was a gamble, but I believe it will be my best business success.
“I thankfully haven’t had anything fail, but the biggest learning point so far has been starting with what I have and understanding that I must work within my means with building upward as my goal.”
The eighteenth series The Apprentice will kick off on February 1, 2024 on BBC One and the iPlayer.
Lord Alan Sugar once again resides over the show, with the help of his aides Karren Brady and Tim Campbell.
Fans will be treated to 12 brand new episodes, with the show set to run every Thursday at 9pm , until April 18, 2024.
Speaking about the new series, Lord Sugar said: “Well, I’m very pleased with this series because the quality of the candidates that we have attracted this year is superb, I have to say.
“This year, we’ve got a lot to work with.”
While Karren added: “I think it’s probably the most highly qualified set of candidates we’ve ever had. Pharmacist, dentist, some already successful business owners.
“I think from that point of view, the standard is really very high, but with high standard and high achievers comes high ego!”
