Business Studies
Hi sugar's
Yes it has been a while since my last blog, but as you know I am studing a business course so a lot of my time is consumed studing....
The first assignment I have is on venture capital vs borrowed funds. how to create a profit forcast, and a basic understanding of how shares in a company work, if any of you work in any area of business: I don't care if you find it dull, I am really interested in all aspects and really care about how it all works:
So If you could blog in the group or give me tips, pointers, websites, anything that will support this interest as I am sure I am not the only one studing business studies.
If your in business: this will be of interest
