Synopsis

The Big Break Legacy intends to identify, build competence and empower entrepreneurs to venture into creating new industries in a sustainable manner.

Conceptualised by businessman and entrepreneur Ezra Ndwandwe, the show is aimed at both existing ventures that need re-capitalisation for growth as well as high impact business ideas requiring start-up capital.

The Big Break Legacy aims to start a global revolution of entrepreneurs that build new enterprises which are innovative, exciting, sustainable and, most importantly, contribute meaningfully towards the social development of communities.

The Big Break will test entrepreneurs for character strength, creativity, aptitude and commercial savvy in addressing business challenges under time and resource constraints.

The show is packaged to entertain in a way that will educate the entrepreneurs and the viewers on responding to key business requisites and the impact of such basics on business success and sustainability.

The Big Break is an interactive show, and viewers will be given an opportunity to vote for who they believe has the composite of a successful entrepreneur.

Twelve contestants have to prove their entrepreneurial flair through various business challenges, over a 13-episode season.

And it's not all business theory and academics that get put to the test - contestants will have to have very real street-smarts in order to make it through the challenges.

It's a tough, dramatic, entertaining and very real business journey, as well as being a rewarding one.

The winner of The Big Break Legacy wins a R5-million investment into their business.
