On the Apprentice last week, one of the candidates was surprised to find out that the interviewer had a copy of her business accounts.

Company accounts for limited companies are available for anyone to purchase at http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/.

Find the company you are interested in, place the order and pay via credit / debit card (accounts will cost you £1).

You can then download the document and a link will be sent to the email address you enter.
