Aye.

I hope you don't mean "every business exploits something" in a negative way. I hope what you mean to say is "Every business takes advantage of a want or need, such as having the carpet vacuumed or the food cooked." I hope exploit was just a negative-sounding word in an otherwise neutral sentence.

We need companies because we need money. We need money because we need to get things done. No one would do anything without money. You need some form of compensation. It's not always straight "exploitation" - I pay someone to clean my mother's bedsores because she can't do it herself. That paid person takes the money and purchases tomatoes because she can't harvest them herself. That person takes said money and purchases some cheese because hey, they're only a tomato farmer, after all. We don't necessarily always have a service to render to our benefactors such that they're not getting a raw deal - maybe the only thing I'm good at is mowing lawns, but his lawn is already mowed, so now he doesn't want to give me a tomato.

We need money. We need companies to get that money. They're not all evil, and they're not all necessary, but business is definitely a necessary evil.
