How does a small business make money?
a real page from the book
A small business makes money when customers pay more for its goods or services than the business spends to provide them. The money coming in must cover supplies, rent, wages, repairs, and the original cost of getting started before the owner truly has earnings to use.
A child can picture it with cookies: flour, heat, boxes, and time all cost something before anyone buys a treat. The satisfying part is that many small gains can build slowly, helping a shop repay its starting costs and then choose what to do next.
