The capital market is a market where buyers and sellers deal with the trading of financial instruments such as bonds, stocks, etc. The purchases and / or sales are carried out by participants, such as individuals and institutions. In the context of corporate finance, the term refers to locations for the acquisition of investment capital for non-financial corporations. Here, "investment capital" includes external funds included in the weighted average cost of capital calculation - common and preference capital, public bonds and private debt - which are also used to calculate the return on invested capital. From the 1990s to the end of 2006 there were two exchanges in Croatia - the stock exchange in Zagreb and the one in Varaždin called alternative capital market. The Zagreb Stock Exchange had a dominant role in the Western Balkans region by 2008, when its market capitalization was significantly reduced due to the impact of the global financial crisis and the country's economic crisis. This paper focuses on possible solutions to redress insufficient funds for long-term financing in the Croatian market, and explains and clarifies the sources and ways of financing the two companies through the capital market in the Republic of Croatia.
