Business Basics for Teenagers Worksheet
Business tip (Revenue in, profit left): Sole trader: one owner, keeps all the profit, owes the debts, simplest to start. Company: a separate legal body, owned by shareholders, run by directors, owners’ risk limited. Revenue = price × number sold. Profit = revenue − costs, so costs = revenue − profit. Teens run a business with adult help; tax and legal questions go to an adult or an expert.
