The Apprentice runner-up Luisa Zissman already has 16 investors on board for her baking business

She fell at the final hurdle on Wednesday night after weeks of competing to win an apprenticeship with Lord Sugar.
But The Apprentice loser Luisa Zissman has already managed to put the loss behind her, by securing an alternative investment for her baking business.
The 25-year-old, who lost out to Leah Totton in the final, has revealed she has 16 investors on board and will launch her online firm selling baking supplies later this year.

Luisa even tweeted she was glad she didn't win Lord Sugar's £250,000 investment.
She revealed she spent Wednesday, the day of the final, pitching her Bakers Toolkit business idea to a company called Angels Den - which connects entrepreneurs with investors.
She told her Twitter fans: 'Thanks for all your support!! Sorry I didn't win! But pitched today to @AngelsDen & have 16 Investors interested!
'@AngelsDen is a MUCH better investment for me personally would defo recommend!! X'

Luisa later added: 'Being an entrepreneur is about picking urself up dusting urself off and focusing on the nx thing (sic).'
And Luisa snubbed Lord Sugar yet again by advising her Twitter followers not to bother applying for the BBC show - but go straight to Angels Den.
She tweeted: 'Instead of applying for the apprentice check out @AngelsDen I pitched today and have 16 investors on board to make Bakers Toolkit happen!!'

Whoops: Luisa also seemed to be finding it difficult with her sky-high heels

  

Viewers saw Luisa break down in tears on the show after she was caught out by a question on profits during a televised pitch to potential investors.
She admitted: 'I can't answer that, I'd just be lying.'
Ahead of the airing of the final, which was filmed several months ago, Luisa was seen out with her estranged husband Oliver on Wednesday.
Luisa looked chic in a mint green dress from The Pretty Dress Company as she and Oliver picked up groceries in London.

Struggling: Luisa fell at the final hurdle during the Apprentice final on Wednesday night, losing out to Leah Totton

Although the pair have called time on their marriage, Oliver was supportive of his estranged wife throughout The Apprentice final on Wednesday night, rooting for the young entrepreneur via his Twitter page.
Answering a friend's query as to whether Luisa was 'gutted' to have lost out at the final furlong, he wrote: 'haha, she was yes. Not that she had to be :-) Been the best thing to come runner up!'
It is thought that as well as raising their three-year-old daughter together, Oliver - a former enterprise award winner - has some involvement in Luisa's three bakery businesses.
