How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

Seven sections group the vocabulary of money: basic terms such as assets, liabilities, equity and revenue; banking words from deposit to overdraft and credit score; investment words including bond, portfolio, index fund and ETF; taxation; credit and loans, with collateral, amortization and default; insurance, from premium to underwriting; and real estate, with escrow and zoning.

How to use this resource:

You take one section at a time and read each term with its one-line definition, which keeps a list short enough to hold in mind. The grouping lets you prepare for a single situation, the words of a loan application or of an insurance policy, rather than meeting finance terms at random. The questions at the end show how one term can shift meaning with the context around it.
