Taking both BS and Economics is not advisable - there is subject overlap, meaning that you are likely to get bored, some Unis dont accept both, and there is no degree subject that requires an A level in BS. Stick with Econ and Chem, and take Maths as your 3rd subject - this will leave the maximum degree subjects still open to you.
I’ve researched and a very very small number of unis don’t accept business and economics?

And how many want Maths for Economics, or a second science/maths for a Chem related degree?
Hello there!

Your A-level combination of Business, Economics, and Chemistry is unique and versatile, offering skills that open doors to diverse career opportunities. Business provides practical knowledge about management and marketing, Economicsdevelops critical thinking and financial analysis, and Chemistry demonstrates strong analytical abilities while keeping options open for STEM fields like pharmaceuticals.
Balancing Chemistry’s workload with essay-based subjects like Economics and Business will require good time management, but this combination is well-suited for degrees in Business Management, Economics, or interdisciplinary fields like Pharmaceutical Business Development.

Overall, your combination of Business, Economics, and Chemistry is both versatile and distinctive, showcasing your adaptability and broad interests. If you’re confident in managing the workload and Chemistry aligns with your passions or as a backup, this combination can set you apart and open doors to a wide range of exciting career paths.

I hope it helps!
Best of luck! 😊

Best wishes,
