Capitals ownership is an important element in ensuring the sustainability of small-scale businesses. This paper discusses the business capitals owned by the late-night bazaar entrepreneurs in selected areas in Klang Valley. Based on the adapted concept of community capitals by Hart (2000), this study aims to examine the entrepreneurs sustainability through assessing their level of ownership on social capital, human capital, financial capital and physical capital. A total of 250 late night bazaar entrepreneurs were involved in this study located in Danau Kota and Cheras. The study showed that the capitals’ ownership by the late-night entrepreneurs is at the moderate level: social capital (70.0%), human capital (75.2%), financial capital (82.8%) and physical capital (81.2%). The late-night bazaar entrepreneurs should progress themselves with the business capitals for future business expansion and sustainability.
