Below are the eight occasions where you must use capital letters:
- For the first word of every sentence

Proposal to Expand and Develop the Market - For titles of books, reports, etc. (excluding articles, prepositions and conjunctions)
My First Ten Years in the Business - For the first word of a list item written in sentence format
Item three: Why should employees pay for lunch at work? - For acronyms
