Classic Features
Discover the features of our award-winning small business simulation
Classic is a multi award-winning small business simulation that allows learners to create, manage and grow a virtual company. Designed for schools, colleges, universities and workplace training, Classic combines realistic business decision-making with engaging gameplay to help learners develop practical business, entrepreneurship and employability skills.
Whether used by individuals or teams, Classic provides an authentic business environment where every decision has consequences, encouraging learners to think strategically, analyse results and adapt their approach over time.
Experience realistic business decision-making
Classic immerses learners in a realistic virtual business where they take responsibility for every aspect of running a company.
Using sophisticated algorithms based on real business principles, learners experience the impact of their decisions across every area of the organisation. Every choice influences business performance, helping users develop commercial awareness and strategic thinking through experience rather than theory.
Manage every area of your virtual business
Learners make decisions across more than 15 business areas, including:
- Market research
- Competitor analysis
- Customer research
- Product development
- Pricing strategy
- Sales and marketing
- Recruitment
- Team management
- Financial management
- Business growth
- Premises management
- Workforce planning
This holistic approach helps learners understand how different business functions are interconnected and how decisions in one area affect the success of the whole business.

A personal or student license is only provided for individual use on a single machine.
Classic licenses are available for 12 months (Annual License) or for an unlimited period of time (Permanent License).

Team based work
Classic can be used by individuals, small groups, or for teaching a class.
Classic is also an excellent tool to use as part of a competition and/or during a themed-based week.
Either playing in teams or as individuals, users start at same level and build their virtual businesses in a competitive setting. A small business simulation competition is where users compete to achieve certain objectives in a given timeframe.
