Everything the site has for Business in one place — a subject playbook, examination playbooks, questions with model answers and free classroom posters.
Written inside a school, not a consultancy, and built from the published
subject content rather than from any one board's papers.
The Business playbook
One book for the whole department — the argument the rest of the shelf is
built on.
One book for the whole department — the head of business who has to justify a subject nobody took at school, and the teacher covering Year 10 finance on a Friday. Built on what the specifications actually say, read from the current documents.

A separate book for each board — AQA, OCR, Pearson Edexcel, at GCSE and A Level — with what each assessment objective is worth quoted from the specification.
AQA only — AQA GCSE Business (8132). A working manual for a GCSE Business department. It moves in one direction — specification, curriculum, teaching, assessment, intervention, examination — because that is the order in which the decisions get made. Part One is the only board-specific part, and it is quoted verbatim. Everything after it is subject pedagogy that would be true whichever board you sat.

A business book that contradicts itself on page fifty is worse than one with no figures at all, because the reader has no way to tell which page is wrong. Every figure about either of the two running businesses here is computed from one another rather than typed, and the arithmetic on every page is parsed off the finished book and evaluated on each build. Seventy-five per cent of the marks are set in a named company, and every calculation is step marked, each step saying what it still earns when the figure coming into it is wrong.
