How Much You Can Actually Lose
A sole trader and a shareholder can run the exact same shop. So why can only one of them lose their house if it fails? Enterprise and risk, with a real business plan; the one liability choice that matters, unlimited vs limited; how aims change as a business grows, organic vs external growth; three stakeholders and what each wants; a worked example comparing what a sole trader and a shareholder actually owe. Fifteen terms to define, a model answer on Elena’s bakery going Ltd, and the misconceptions that cost marks. Photographed, not drawn: a real small business owner.

Everything else this site has for Business: Business teaching resources
One landscape A4 page on one part of the GCSE Business course, anchored to the DfE’s own subject content (DFE-00203-2015) and Ofqual’s national assessment objectives (Ofqual/16/5879) rather than a board’s paraphrase, so it holds whichever specification a department follows. It carries enterprise and risk, unlimited vs limited liability, aims and growth, three stakeholders and a worked liability comparison. Then the vocabulary, a worked exam-style answer and the misconceptions that cost marks.
Every photograph on the sheet is a real image, not an illustration and not AI-generated, licensed for reuse and credited on the sheet; every figure (the break-even chart, the marketing mix, market segmentation) is drawn in code, with its numbers computed rather than guessed. Every claim is sourced to the DfE and Ofqual documents, and nothing is reproduced from a past paper, a textbook or a specification.
Sold by subject: all four Business sheets for one price. A knowledge organiser stores a unit and is revised from afterwards; this is meant to be on the table while the work is happening.
