Flashcards for Pearson Edexcel GCSE Business (1BS0), split into Theme 1: Investigating small business (Paper 1) and Theme 2: Building a business (Paper 2), then by the specification's own numbered topics. Covers definitions, each advantage and disadvantage the specification asks for, and the calculations from its quantitative skills appendix, including revenue, profit, break even, cash flow, gross and net profit margin and average rate of return.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.
