Capital definitionQuestion What is the definition of "capital"?
Answer In the marketplace, capital is economic value in the form of money, property and other things of value. Fundamentally, business capital is the financial resources available to the business, which could be in the form of cash, funds from debt or investment.
Capital is the critical underlying financial foundation of any business or organization that has bills to pay and growth to fund. The capital value of a company is the sum of current assets and profits left in the business in the form of retained earnings. Search again for "capital goods" which are physical assets.
