There are three categories of capital which are fixed capital, operating or working capital and liquid capital. Fixed capital are producer goods that are completely not used in production process, for example buildings and machinery. Operating or working capital are the raw materials that normally completely used in a production process, for example fuel and cotton wool. Liquid capital is money that used to acquire real capital goods or assets that can be used in production of goods or services.

Entrepreneurship:
Entrepreneurship sometimes known as entrepreneurial talent, is the ability of making profit through utilization of resources which are land, labour and capital.
