6. Calculated Risk

7. Taking a calculated risk
Calculated risk is about putting a numerical value or probability on the risk. It is the chance of something negative happening.
Examples:
The risk of losing your premises if you don’t pay your rent
Very high =100%
Risk of a child getting burnt whilst cooking
Quite high =50%

8. Upsides and Downsides
Business must consider both upsides and downsides when planning their business.
Upsides - the advantages of a course of action, including what can go right
Downsides - the disadvantages of a course of action, including what can go wrong

9. Downsides Examples: Not get enough customers = no profit
Poor quality products from suppliers
The major risk is that a business could fail, therefore businesses must put a price on this (how much would they lose?/what are the chances of this happening?)

10. Upsides
Examples:
The business could sell lots of its products and earn lots of money
Could get a cheap deal from suppliers by buying in bulk.
Using market research businesses have to estimate what they could earn and compare this to the chances of the business failing (if the possibility of success is higher than the possibility of failure the business will be prepared to take the calculated risk)

11. Upside or Downside? Create a table for Upsides and Downsides

2. Ben finds a cheap deal for his insurance

7. Ben has the funds available to start a new business
8. Nobody wants to buy the product
10. The equipment bought from the manufacturers might be faulty
9. Ben could earn lots of money
11. Ben is likely to set up as a sole trader
