For Richer, for Poorer

• Documentary

Episode overview

For Richer for Poorer follows four couples risking it all to start the business of their dreams. The stakes couldn't be higher. They're not just gambling their savings, loans or family nest-eggs, but also putting their relationships on the line. How does life change when a partner becomes a business partner? Who really wears the trousers when love and work collide? There's a fine line between fortune and ruin - and since one in four businesses don't make it past the first year, the pressure to get things right couldn't be greater. In Canterbury, married couple Barry and Vicky have opened up a furniture store and baking school and have just six months to make a profit or shut up shop for good. Husband and wife Andrew and Theresa have been happily together for 25 years, but their different ambitions for their fledgling Jamaican Patty Company are keeping them awake at night.
