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.

What i liked the most about this course is the simplification in explaining this critical topic (business, finances...) that we generally get afraid of... me personally, I've always seen it as something big, numbers, calculations.. I don't know but finally it's more easier, and like everything we just have to start!

The document that was given in this course is so interesting, it helped me so much dotting the i's and organizing ideas of my business plan while I didn't know how to start.

Little remark: I think it would be more effective if you gave us more practical information and guided us more in how to analyse financial information and how to know if a business is sustainable.

My Thanks to the university of Leeds and to Futurelearn
