Business Management practice: Evaluate sources of finance and investment appraisal evidence
Business Management SL stimulus: Hobart meal-kit maker SouthPier Suppers is choosing finance before moving from local delivery to supermarket supply. Investment appraisal shows payback of 2.5 years and ARR of 15%, while food-labelling rules require more batch traceability. Use the finance fit matrix before recommending a source. Select the finance source, investment data, finance fit, and finance risk. Then answer this in your own words: how would this route improve the business decision answer for this exact case? AI will analyse your reasoning, stimulus evidence, toolkit or calculation use, recommendation quality, and expression.
Worked practice: build the response
Work through the business response: concept focus, supporting evidence, the decision, then a reasoned judgement.
Write a full answer
Now write the response in full, in your own words — this is what the exam asks for. The AI marks it on the same moves you built above (focus, evidence, technique, judgement) and gives feedback on reasoning, evidence, and expression.
