A Level Options

I've just finished my GCSEs and I'm now overthinking my A Level choices - I picked Maths, Sociology and Business to possibly advance in some financial/business esc type industry/career (not fully decided tho). Is this a good combination and if I don't get a 7+ in Maths what would be another subject that fits well?

You don't need an A level in Business for any degree subject - including Business subjects.

I suggest that you look at the entry requirements - both A levels and any essential GCSE grades - for a range of different degree subjects. Two examples :
Undergraduate courses | King’s Business School | King’s College London
Find an undergraduate course | Henley Business School (Reading)

It might be worth looking at financial/business type courses on unis websites, to see if they specify any particular subjects.

If you seriously want to do finance then maths is the most important subject. Other than that just pick what you like, maybe do core maths if thats an option too.
