Selling Something People Want
A business earns profit by selling goods or services that people need or enjoy. This could be anything from tasty food, fun toys, cool clothes, or helpful services like haircuts or car repairs. The business spends money to make or acquire these items and then sells them at a higher price. The difference between what it costs and what they earn is called profit. That extra money helps the business grow, pay workers, and keep doing more of what people love.
Being Smart with Money and Ideas
To make a good profit, a business has to be smart. It needs to keep costs low, treat customers well, and sometimes come up with new ideas to stay ahead of others. Businesses also use advertising to inform people about their products or services. If people are happy and come back again and again, the company earns more money. So, a good business focuses on making customers happy while also making wise money choices.
