Why Do Companies Need More Money to Grow?

Ages 5–10 | Why do companies need more money to grow? You build a lemonade stand, and people love it.

So why would you need someone else's money? Shouldn't a good business pay for itself?

Then you want to open another stand, buy better tools, and tell more people about it.
