A capital market is a market for securities (debt or equity), where business enterprises (companies) and governments can raise

long-term funds. It is defined as a market in which money is provided for periods longer than a year, as the raising of short-term funds takes place on other markets (e.g., the money market). The capital market includes the stock market (equity securities) and the bond market(debt). Money markets and capital markets are parts of financial markets.

The primary market is that part of the capital markets that deals with the issuance of new securities. Companies, governments or public sector institutions can obtain funding through the sale of a new stock or bond issue. This is typically done through a syndicate of securities dealers.

Dealers earn a commission that is built into the price of the security offering, though it can be found in the prospectus
