## What it means for a shop owner

It appears on the balance sheet under equity. Raising it means the owner put in new money, and it falls through draws or losses. Do not mix shop money with your own so you can see the true picture.

## A worked example

You started with 5,000 in capital. You bought stock for 3,000 and equipment for 1,000, with 1,000 left in cash.
