Cash Is Not Profit
A business can be profitable on paper and still run out of money to pay its staff — how? Where finance comes from, internal and external, and the DfE’s own test of suitability; revenue, costs and the two kinds of profit; a break-even chart with the crossing point computed, not guessed; all five DfE formulae, gross and net margin to average rate of return; a worked break-even calculation. Thirteen terms to define, a model answer on why profit isn’t cash, and the misconceptions that cost marks.

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 sources of finance, revenue/costs/profit, a computed break-even chart, all five DfE formulae and a worked break-even calculation, 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 is drawn in code, with its numbers computed rather than guessed: the break-even chart, the marketing mix, market segmentation. 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.
