Hi Jow Forums can you help me?

Biz can mean many things. How invested are you. Do you want to learn accounting and marketing too? Outsource these, hire some people?
Whats your biz?
Learn bookkeeping and sales at a minimum.
Most regular businesses are run through common sense alone.
Don't overthink it. Action with common sense is better than nothing

What do you mean by "How invested are you"? Do you mean money or time wise? I think it would be good to learn accounting and marketing as well to have an understanding and ability to do so if needed. I want to start up a game development studio, I have a good skillset for creating software but would have to either employ or outsource art and music. I've got good common sense and I am able to predict quite accurately what will happen depending on the circumstances.

As in how mentally invested are you into the business? How much of the work do you want to do? Do you want to collect checks every month and have nothing to do with it, can you afford to do that? Outsource and pay for everything? Need awareness pay for an ad campaign, need financial admin assistance, pay for an accountant?
Or are you starting up a small biz. Your question was super vague and you need to clearly define yourself so I as a customer don't have to guess. Learning business covers an array of topics, some which wont ever be necessary - just like in software. You need to think what type of business person you want to be before perusing the objective. I'm not advocating sitting there for weeks on end, but play to your strengths.

So you have capital, make the company, have a couple of premade titles. Make some more outsource marketing and music. Also learn marketing and do it yourself too. Assess thereafter. You'll have a good idea of whether this will work or not by then, if it goes well hire junior / student devs.
This is a fairly easy biz to setup theres very little logistics involved. Much of the accounting can be automated.
Think merch too, and events to market yourself.

Apologies, my understanding of the actual business world is small so I can see why you would be confused. I want it to be a small business with the potential to grow big in the future. I want to be involved, run the business and help creating the software.

Assume me to be a complete retard in business context, some of these words such as capital, financial admin assistance etc. are foreign to me.

Go read through investopedias glossary of terms. Investopedia is a website. Youtube how to set up a small uk business there are answers there. Dont buy software or services.
When you feel as though youre ready .ake a company and sell your shit through that company, whether that is a service or a product is up to you. A service being I will help you develop your game at a cost a product being I will make a game and sell that to people. In your line of work its a little bit more muddled as youre creating a product but selling a service but hopefully you get the idea.
Research, all the time, talk to people, be annoying in asking questions. You have to want it no one will give you all the answers you have to figure it out.

Holy shit that is a oxford dictionary full of terms, surely business folks don't remember all these terms? Can you be employed and have a business at the same time? How would I know I would be ready? Research what and ask what questions?

Job centre runs classes introducing people to basic business practices. But one thing I picked up is employees are fucking expensive, they are by far your biggest expense. And I'm not talking about just wages, it also includes employer obligations like insurance and pensions.

Job Centre does? But how do you gain the money needed to run a business at the beginning to pay for things like wages, insurance etc.?
