When capital of a concern is small, it can be categorized into Small Cap Stock and it can also be abbreviated as SQCs and its expansion is Smaller Quoted Companies. Small Caps is the other name for SQCs.

Market capitalization usually act as a major factor in assessing its growth. But mostly people think that number of employees and profit earned by the company determines the size of a company which is not the thing happening as it is a wrong assumption. Number of outstanding shares and number of shares in the issue plays a vital role in determining the market capitalization. Reckoning of market capitalization is done by multiplying the current price of the share with number of outstanding shares and number of shares in the issue. When capital of a company is lower then it is called as small companies and stock are known as Small Cap Stock.

In United States a company with a market capitalization of $300 million to $2 billion are categorized as Small Cap and stock from those companies are said to be as Small Cap Stock. Regarding amateur investors SQCs are really beckoning one as they can invest a low amount and may sometimes get double the amount they invest even they may get 3-fold or more than that.
