Our approach

Context before
conclusions.

Business Fundies is an educational project by Alfie McCullen. It brings business explanations, historical financial information and source references together in one place.

The aim is to make the numbers easier to understand. Coverage is a collection of businesses to study, not a recommended portfolio.

01

Know what the metric means

Revenue, earnings and cash flow answer different questions. Definitions, units and reporting periods belong beside the figures.

02

Keep the source in reach

Use the linked company disclosures to check the explanation. Unavailable information is a gap, not a zero.

03

Make corrections visible

Signed-in readers can report bugs and missing or incorrect information. Reports go through an evidence review before corrections are published.

Your research, in one place

Build your own reading list.

Explore every company page freely. Sign in to save favourite companies and metrics, or report bugs and information that needs attention.
