BTEC BUSINESS STUDIES
Subject Overview
As an optional subject, Business Studies allows you to explore all aspects of setting up, running and managing a business.
The term 'business' can cover anything from a sole trader in a local market to a multinational corporation selling products to millions of people all over the world.
Unit 1 introduces you to the language and terminology used in business.
All businesses have to spend money before they can make a profit, and when they spend money, they incur costs. In unit 2, you will explore the types of costs that businesses incur, from the initial start-up costs involved in setting up a business to the ongoing daily costs of running the business. You will then explore the ways in which the sale of products and services generates revenue, so that you can develop your understanding of profit.
