Starting a Business 5: Managing Finances
University of Leeds via FutureLearn
Overview
##
The management of finances is crucial to a successful business; financial information provides the evidence to support your decisions about a business and helps to justify those decisions when you present them to other people. Whether you have an idea for a future venture or you already have a side-line business whilst studying, this course will introduce you to key financial information and gives you a chance to discuss your ideas with others.
This course is the fifth in a series of six about ‘starting a business’.
This course is part of the Going to University collection which has been specifically designed for students at schools and colleges. They provide a taster of undergraduate study at the University of Leeds and help students to decide which subject to study at university.
Completion of the courses will also enhance students’ university applications.
The courses can also be used as a teachers’ classroom enrichment resource.
Courses in this collection are also great for people that want an introduction in the specific subjects discussed in each course.

AnonymousIt's been 2 great weeks of learning, I must say! This is indeed a very good introductory business management course that has very useful tips. All of the presentations were simple enough to understand and it worked a great deal on me, in removing some calculation fears. Therefore, I recommend this course to everyone who is planning to start a business, as it will help to look into all the necessary areas that you need to, before starting up. Thumbs up to Futurelearn, University of Leeds.
