Four real, well-documented founders — Levi Roots, Anita Roddick, Molly-Mae Hague and Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu — explored across six interactive tabs mapped to reasons for setting up in business, entrepreneurial characteristics, challenges of starting up, and how an entrepreneur's role changes as a business grows. Includes an "Enterprise Basics" tab with a quick-reference primer and three practice activities (match, sort, quiz), plus a final Exam Practice tab of command-word questions (State, Explain, Analyse, Assess) with model-answer guidance rather than mark schemes. Fully printable, with an answer key for every activity.
Understanding Dividends
A two-tab resource on dividends: what they are, why they incentivise shareholders, and why some PLCs choose not to pay them and still attract demand. Tab 1 covers the dividend per share and dividend yield formulas with worked examples, live calculators and six practice questions with a printable answer key. Tab 2 is "The Income Investor Challenge" — a interactive simulation where students invest £10,000 for income, react to news alerts that move share price and dividend per share, decide whether to hold or sell & switch, and must justify each decision in writing before it unlocks.

Students choose a Foundation, Core or Stretch route through four sections: Calculate it, Rearrange it, Change it (percentage changes, share issues and reverse percentages) and a three-plc case study ending in an investor recommendation. Every question links to a Toolkit page and two tiers of clues (a Nudge and a Start-me-off), and students tick each clue they use so you can see what to reteach. Includes a reflection page and a separate teacher answer booklet with full working.
