Some complementary alevels to your subjects are maths, geography and history 🙂
Only take economics if you're actually interested in it otherwise you will hate it

I don’t understand when people say this I am interested in nothing absolutely nothing but if I start learning anything I start becoming interested in it so I just pick whatever 😭

Maybe consider taking another A-level so that universities will be able to see some additional breadth of subjects and if you choose to drop a subject then you will be able to :smile:

What do you want to do at uni?
Double check the courses you are thinking of doing on unis websites to see which (if any)subjects they require/suggest.
If their websites dont mention not taking business and economics together then you will be fine.
