On Redemption Inc., every week the contestants are plunged into another business, in order to prove themselves to the business manager and O'Leary himself. O'Leary assigns a team leader (or multiple team leaders) and they are given a business task that they are to meet. Often there will be a training day followed by the business day.
Eliminations proceed as thus: All contestants come into the studio to discuss the pros and cons of the business challenge, and then Kevin selects players to stay behind with him and those players make their case to stay. Finally, Kevin offers someone an exit package, to start up their own business. The exit package does not have to be taken; however, the package cannot be offered again.
