CIE IGCSE Business Studies 0450 & 0986 (2025)
This page is specifically designed to support Cambridge IGCSE Business Studies (0450/0986). These two codes follow the exact same syllabus—the only difference is that 0450 is graded A*–U and 0986 is graded 9–1. It aligns with the most up-to-date textbook, Cambridge IGCSE and O Level Business Studies, but it can also be used with any edition—or even without a textbook at all.
All resources here are completely free to use. However, likes, follows, and comments on the videos are greatly appreciated, as they help me to create even more content.
UPDATE – Business 0264 & 0774 (2027)
The technique videos above are based on the current 0450 and 0986 syllabuses. However, these will be replaced by the new 0264 syllabus starting in 2027. If you’re starting the course in September 2025 or later, you’ll be following 0264—so it’s important not to confuse the two.
I’ll be adding new technique videos for 0264 shortly. They’ll be clearly marked and placed at the bottom of this page.

Exam Syllabus & Revision Check List
Exam Paper Guide
These helpers are experts in the style of each exam and the types of questions included. They provide insights into common mistakes, the exam duration, and exactly what examiners are looking for. Students can engage in back-and-forth conversations with them to ask questions, clarify doubts, and receive personalised support, making the experience interactive and highly effective.
Ai Definitions (A01) Tester
This tester is designed to help you master all the exact definitions you need to know for the IGCSE exam. It will keep testing you until you’ve perfected them. You can choose to focus on the entire syllabus or target a specific section.
Equations
Ai Knowledge (A01) Tester
These testers are designed to test you on the elements you need to know. They will mark your answers and explain where you went wrong. An excellent tool for continuous revision.
Ai Application (A02) Tutor
This will teach you exactly what teachers and examiners mean by ‘application’, provide examples, and show you how to secure those marks.
Ai Analysis (A03) Tutor
This will teach you exactly what teachers and examiners mean by ‘analysis’, provide examples, and show you how to secure those marks. It will explain the concept of cause and effect and introduce you to the essential technique known as the ‘chain of analysis’.
Ai Evaluation (A04) Tutor
This will teach you exactly what teachers and examiners mean by ‘evaluation’, provide examples, and give you a clear idea of what examiners are looking for. Keep in mind that these are the hardest and most subjective marks to achieve, so even this AI tutor may not be perfect.
Complete IGCSE Business Video Course (In Progress) (0264, 0774, 0450, 0986)
I’m creating a full video course based on the new Cambridge IGCSE 0264 & 0774 syllabus (for exams from 2027 onwards). This syllabus replaces and reorganises the older 0450 and 0986 versions—but the core content is the same. If you’re studying the 0450 or 0986 syllabuses, this course is fully suitable for you too. I’ll clearly flag any new or removed topics, but the vast majority of content applies directly to all three syllabuses.
This is a work in progress and I’m updating it daily, so keep checking back for new videos and updates.
