Introduction – Why Managing Resources Matters

This unit is all about understanding how to plan, organise, and manage people, money, and equipment so that businesses run efficiently and achieve their goals.

Every business, big or small, succeeds or fails based on how well it manages its resources. Entrepreneurs who can balance people, time, and money effectively are the ones who grow — not just survive.

Many business owners fail because they don’t plan for what they need, overspend, or forget to check if their team has the right tools or skills. Others underestimate how quickly laws, budgets, and technology can change.
