What this practice covers
These questions are drawn from past CIE 0264 Business papers and filtered to enterprise, business growth and size. You answer, you find out immediately whether you were right, and you get the reasoning for the correct option and for each distractor. Wrong answers go to a mistakes locker so you can come back to exactly those.
Practice is free. You need an account only so your progress and your mistakes are still there next time.

What examiners see students get wrong here
These are the errors that cost marks on enterprise, business growth and size, taken from our own topic notes. Read them before you practise and you will recognise the traps in the questions.
- Listing profit as a method of measuring business size. It is not one, and 0264 says so directly.
- Giving one measure of size as the correct one. Say which measure and why it fits this business.
- Confusing a merger with a takeover. A merger is agreed; a takeover is one business buying another.
- Getting vertical integration backwards. Backward goes to the supplier, forward goes to the customer.
- Treating growth as automatically good. Cash shortages, weaker communication and lost control are on syllabus.
- Saying a business stayed small because it failed. Many owners choose to stay small.
- Listing entrepreneur characteristics as bare adjectives with nothing attached.
- Explaining failure with one cause when the stem gives you two or three.
Revise it first
