Business exists, or more literally persists, because it not only creates 
production, but profit as well.  If it didn't create profit, it would 
cease.  (The case could be made that what breaks even could perpetuate, 
but in practice this is a precarious equipoise since nearly any adverse 
condition would spell doom.)

If, as is likely with one Scrooge's instinct or devising, a business is 
inherently efficient (e.g. profitable), more input is leveraged to more 
output.

Did this help?

Best,
