ViewPoint Bank of Plano, TX defines capitalization at its website as the ... amount of money invested in a company or worth of the bonds & stocks of a company. Enterprise capitalization, one way of explaining the process of obtaining the money necessary to start up a venture, is a concern for entrepreneurs. See the definition of venture capital. Also, capital formation fits into the definition of enterprise capitalization. Savvy site selectors make it a point to include searching for financial incentives and other opportunities to cut the cost of relocation and expansion projects.

The Network uses the all inclusive term contact data as way of referring to address, telephone numbers and other information that facilitates people getting in touch with each other for business purposes. Printed materials and websites having contact data that misleads need to be corrected. Printed materials that show an obsolete address or location map that can't be corrected should be tossed. Correcting outdated contact data online means doing more than changing the company website.
