balance sheets: how a company can save money for further investments
user
a company can hold on to money.  this is called retained earnings.  not all money is due back to the owners (i.e. stockholders), but only the amount that the board of directors chooses to pay back in the form of dividends.  there is a lot more detail around this, but this is the simple answer to your question.
