What are businesses?

A business is like a special kind of team that works together to make things people want or need.

Imagine you have a lemonade stand. You and your friends are the business, and the lemonade is what you're making to sell. People come by, they buy your lemonade, and you all get happy because you made money, like earning gold coins in a game!

A business has two main parts: making things and giving them to people.

• When you squeeze lemons and mix sugar with water, that’s making something.
• When you hand someone a cup of lemonade for some coins, that’s selling it, or giving it to people.

Sometimes businesses are bigger. Like a bakery: they make bread every day, and people come in to buy it. The baker is the business, just like your lemonade stand.

Businesses help you learn new things, meet friends, and even save up for toys or games. You can be a business by yourself, or with a whole group of people. Either way, it’s fun to see how making something and sharing it can make everyone happy!
