In finance, a share is a unit of account for many different financial things including stocks, mutual funds, limited partnerships, and REIT's. In British English, the word share alone to talk only about stocks is so common that it almost replaces the word stock itself. Capital means the money being invested to start a new business. The owner of share is called shareholder.
