Business Simulator - Suitable for Open Evening

Business Taster Labs – Six Interactive Business Activities

Bring Business topics to life with six interactive, scenario-based challenges.

This browser-based resource allows learners to make realistic business decisions and receive immediate feedback. Students explore business sectors, ownership, marketing, break-even, cash flow and customer service through accessible activities that require no previous Business knowledge.

The resource includes:

• Business Sector Sorter
• Business Ownership Adviser
• Marketing Mix Builder
• Break-even Challenge
• Cash-flow Rescue
• Customer Service Manager
• Automatic completion tracker
• Immediate answer feedback
• Student-friendly topic explanations
• Offline instructions

Topics covered:

• Primary, secondary and tertiary sectors
• Sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
• The four Ps of the marketing mix
• Contribution and break-even output
• Cash inflows, outflows and closing balances
• Complaint handling and customer satisfaction

The activities encourage learners to apply Business knowledge rather than simply recall definitions. Each simulator uses a short business scenario followed by feedback explaining why a decision is effective or unsuitable.

This resource is ideal for BTEC Business, GCSE Business, introductory Business lessons, revision, cover work, enrichment and taster sessions. It is particularly useful for engaging learners who benefit from practical and interactive activities.
