Starting Your Own Business Level 2

Unit 1 – Starting a New Business
This unit aims to provide learners with the skills needed to start a small business. The learner will be able to present the initial business idea, understand the skills and development needed to run the business and will know the legal and financial aspects that will affect the start-up of the business.
Unit 2 – Business Culture and Responsibilities
This unit will equip learners with the skills needed to improve sustainability within a business environment, analysing the benefits of keeping waste to a minimum and implementing new means of doing so. Learners will also gain an overall understanding of diversity – recognising the benefits of a diverse workforce, how to maintain security and confidentiality, and how to manage risk, in a business environment.
Unit 3 – Innovation in a business environment
This unit will enable the learner to evaluate working practices against agreed criteria and also evaluate the feasibility of an idea. They will then be able to communicate an idea to decision makers, explaining the purpose of doing so and responding to feedback on their idea.
