Please also note that marking criterion 2. above refers to your ability to use the creative industries concepts and terminology you have encountered during the course of this unit – this includes the extent to which you are able to connect the immediate topic of your snack vending machine to wider creative industries issues.

As noted in the snack vending machine proposals section above, this means that you will not be able to do well if you merely focus on a specific creative industries sector / company / organisation / artist without placing them within a wider creative industries context.

Your final snack vending machine must be submitted in hardcopy. If you would like to receive it back with your tutor’s comments after the end of semester, please make sure you attach a sufficiently large self-addressed, stamped envelope to the final snack vending machine as you hand it in.

Business Type: Sole Trader

Sole trader, as the name suggests, is where an individual is the sole owner of a business. The business is often quite small in terms of size (as measured, for example, by sales generated, or number of staff employed) however the number of these businesses is very large indeed. Examples of these businesses can be found in most industrial sectors but particularly in most service sectors. Hence services such as electrical repair, picture framing, photography, diving instruction, retail shops, and hotels have a large proportion of sole trade business.
