I want to do business, computing, and maths or physics. But I didn't choose business for gcse. I didn't do my gcse yet. If I choose business for my a levels will I be behind? And will I be able to do physics if I didn't do triple science?

As for Physics, some places might require you to have done Triple Science, but I think that many just ask for either a good grade in Physics or a good grade in Combined Science. You will likely also need a good grade in Maths (5/6) to study Physics A-level.
A good thing to do at this stage would be to check the websites of local sixth forms / colleges. They should have a breakdown of what grades / subjects are required for what subject.

In my local area, I'm not aware of any sixth form / college that requires Business Studies GCSE in order to do the A-level, and I imagine this will be the same in other areas. You will probably just need a 4 or 5 in Maths to show that you have enough competence to do the maths element of the Business Studies A-level.

If you haven't yet picked your GCSE options, and you know that you intend to do an A-level in business, then it would be sensible to pick GCSE Business Studies.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.

I would have to choose either computing or business. From the start I wanted to do business and computing. But the lessons go on at the sametime so I had to choose one I chose computing. But for a levels I want to do both. But I'm worried that if I do choose business I will have missed out in important topics,that I would need to move forward in business, because I didn't do it in school. So if I do choose business will they go over the topics I missed or will they start on a new one.
