8.3 | TV-PG | en | Reality

When Marcus Lemonis isn’t running his multi-billion dollar company, Camping World, he goes on the hunt for struggling businesses that are desperate for cash and ripe for a deal. In the past 10 years, he’s successfully turned around over 100 companies. Now he’s bringing those skills to CNBC and doing something no one has ever done on TV before … he’s putting millions of dollars of his own money on the line. In each episode, Lemonis makes an offer that’s impossible to refuse; his cash for a piece of the business and a percentage of the profits. And once inside these companies, he’ll do almost anything to save the business and make himself a profit; even if it means firing the president, promoting the secretary or doing the work himself.

anuraj-jain I've been working for startups for the last 6 years and I was blown away by this show. Despite some of the criticism you might have read online, what Marcus says is simple and extremely effective. If people stick to the principles he says out i.e. People, Process and Product it's hard to see why a business would still fail. Marcus deals with many different problems on the show and tackles them with the same formula which is amazing in itself. The more you watch it, the more you understand the nuances of how his fundamentals work and the clarity this guy has.I recommend this show to not just budding entrepreneurs but also anyone who is interested in just a great show.
OllieSuave-007 The Profit is a reality TV show where businessman Marcus Lemonis works with failing businesses in attempts to save them from going belly up by offering the business heads his knowledge and a $2 million dollar fund.Much of the reality shows on TV are non-fiction (of course), but filmed and written with the ultimate goal of game-playing, Hollywood star power and entertainment value - shows like "Survivor," "The Biggest Loser" and "Hell's Kitchen." However, shows like "The Profit" involve more real, serious situations in which the action and choices made by the show's people will effect their everyday lives, and have the ability to effect the world as well.This show is all about business management, making choices, financial skills and transforming work in successes or failure. There is no game-play, nor overzealous drama, real work and diligence and personal decisions - all with some entertainment and suspense mixed in. Great stuff here! Grade A
David (Disclaimer: I have only seen 7 episodes of "The Profit".) I tried hard to get into the show because I really like the idea of teaching the audience (and me) the basics of how to run a business. However, this show fails in at least three important ways: (1) The episodes tend to follow very similar formats (e.g., a small business with great potential but with some sort of "people problems"), (2) We never find out what *really* happens to each business after Lemonis works with it, and (3) Lemonis never seems to actually help a business. In the 7 episodes I watched, Lemonis got involved in every one (financially and with advice), but then ultimately walked away from each.My advice to Lemonis and the producers is similar to the advice that Lemonis gives each business owner: Focus on being great rather than on being popular or making money. If you're lucky, the money will follow.This show has great potential, but I'm not holding my breath.
michaelford A reality show with some similarities to Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. Marcus Lemonis is a self made millionaire who specialises in investing in struggling small businesses and turning them around.Unlike some of the other reviewers, I have watched all available episodes and can tell you, it doesn't always finish with hugs between Marcus and the business owners. Lemonis puts up his own money on a handshake with the owner and makes a deal that he will run the business for 7 days for a share of future profits. Sometimes the owners are on board, sometimes it's a struggle and sometimes they try and screw Lemonis after he shows them the way.A great show if you have any interest in small business and why so many small businesses with a great idea, fail.Well worth a look.
