25 Specialist Terms You Might Encounter in AQA A Level Business 2018

In 2017 it was "debt factoring" which threw some students as they took on the challenge of the first three linear papers. A source of finance listed on the AQA specification, but not a well-known or familiar term to many.

What might it be in 2018? Who knows, but it is always worth spending some time revising the meaning of specialist terminology - particularly those terms buried deep in the specification which might have attracted the attention of the examining team!

Here is a list of 25 specialist terms from the AQA A Level Business specification (I've left debt factoring out!).
