TEEN TYCOONS


The three Teen Tycoon entrepreneurs

The Teen Tycoon entrepreneurs

Three 19-year-old entrepreneurs help six ailing businesses to recognise their flaws and become more successful. They explore the factors that make business enterprises thrive.

In a boardroom scene at the beginning of each programme, the tycoons identify the problems that are causing the businesses to flounder. They are given two weeks to work out who is best equipped to turn them round.

The businesses

  • Claws & Paws – a mobile pet groomer with too much work
  • Pendragon – a rock band that is losing money
  • Yaki Box – a product designer who needs help with marketing
  • Bumbles – a night club that needs to attract new customers
  • Kentchurch Court – a stately home that can't pay the bills
  • Kaiz – a fashion boutique that is facing closure.

There are two omnibus programmes, which each take an excerpt from three of the Teen Tycoons programmes and focus on the main theme covered:

  • Omnibus 1 – Yaki Box, Pendragon and Kentchurch Court
  • Omnibus 2 – Claws & Paws, Bumbles and Kaiz.
