The brief for this assessment is as follows:
• This Coursework 2 Assignment is an independent assignment to be completed individually.
• The assignment is designed to give students the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the
key concepts covered in this module in a report and a financial evaluation.
• Students are encouraged to carefully ground their work ideally based on the same real-life business startup selected for Tasks (ii) and (iii) of the Coursework 1 Assignment and to present their work in a
recognisable and professional format which addresses the requirements clearly. As always though, this is an
academic piece of work, and as such it is expected that students will engage actively with the academic
literature in this area.
• Students are encouraged to assume the role of an adviser to the same business start-up selected for
the Coursework 1 Assessment and to advise and support the business owners in a report on raising the
funding necessary for the business to grow successfully. There should be two sections to the report:
Section 1 Pick a start up within the UK and create a report to the owners of the business outlining the business case for investment; Section 2
comprises a financial evaluation covering a period of five years which will support the business case to be
presented to potential investors.
• Both Section 1 and Section 2 of the report should be in a single Word document. Students are expected
to use a spreadsheet for calculations and for creating tables such as cash flow projections. These
spreadsheet calculations and tables should be pasted into the Word Report.
