Pearson Edexcel A Level Business Paper 1 2025 Question Paper

Download the official Pearson Edexcel A-Level Business Paper 1 question paper for the June 2025 examination series (9BS0/01). This examiner-authentic PDF contains the complete Marketing, People and Global Businesses assessment together with the official source booklet used in the live Edexcel A-Level Business examination.

The paper focuses on marketing, human resources, business ownership, global expansion, international markets, ethics, and competitive strategy through realistic case studies involving Timpson Ltd, Johnsons dry cleaners, Fever-Tree, and Coca-Cola in India. Students are required to apply business concepts to practical commercial situations involving customer service, staff training, market research, private limited companies, global expansion, ethical behaviour, pricing strategies, and multinational business operations.

Questions assess understanding of quantitative market research, customer satisfaction data, private limited company structures, employee motivation, staff training methods, market-entry strategies, tariffs, trade barriers, multinational corporations, ethical business conduct, market share growth, and global marketing decisions. Students also evaluate how businesses balance profitability, customer service, competitive pricing, and ethical behaviour within domestic and international markets.

The examination includes calculations, supply-and-demand diagrams, analytical explanations, and evaluative essay-style tasks requiring application of business theory to realistic commercial contexts. Quantitative skills include percentage calculations, market-trend analysis, and interpretation of data relating to India’s soft-drink industry and sugar-price movements.

The final 20-mark evaluative questions require students to assess whether Johnsons should prioritise on-the-job or off-the-job training to maintain customer service, and whether Coca-Cola should focus on pricing or ethical behaviour to increase market share in India. These tasks develop high-level evaluative writing, contextual judgement, strategic analysis, and supported recommendations under authentic Edexcel exam conditions.
