Business Profiles

• How much does it cost to set up your own pizza delivery franchise?
• What's the best way of promoting online gambling?
• How do the major supermarket retailers compete?
• Is it possible to run a professional football club as a private investment?

Biz/ed have created profiles for a range of business organisations. These are presented as sets of FAQs, grouped into themes that make sense to BTEC and AS/A2 students, as well as the general reader: Marketing, Human Resource Management, Strategy, Operations and Production are all covered.

Currently there are 19 companies here. Visit this section of Biz/ed from time to time to see this resource grow. You can browse through the information by following the links to the right, or you can use the search facility to look for specific information.

The business profiles complement our existing suite of ratio analysis materials and financial database. Balance sheet and profit and loss data for the past two years are provided on currently 37 organisations, including many of the profiled companies.
