Business financial literacy applies numeracy to organizational decision-making and operational management. Core competencies include:
* '''Reading Financial Statements''': Interpreting balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements to assess business health.

* '''Cash Flow Management''': Forecasting inflows and outflows to ensure liquidity and avoid shortfalls.
* '''Pricing and Cost Analysis''': Using unit economics, markup formulas, and marginal cost reasoning to set profitable prices.
