AQA Unit 2 (BUSS2, Managing a Business) covers the four internal functions of business: marketing, finance, operations management, and people and organisations. The exam comprises two stimulus questions, each worth 40 marks; approximately 20 of these are allocated to each of the internal functions. Unit 2 focuses on small or medium-sized businesses, particularly on the ways in which such businesses can improve their performance.

There are four evaluative sub-questions within each stimulus question, one on each of the internal functions.
