PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING
July 21, 1999


INTRODUCTION

Solicitation, Voting and Revocation of Proxies

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by, and
on behalf of, the Board of Directors of Prime Capital Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") of the Company on July 21, 1999, and at any
adjournment or adjournments thereof.  This Proxy Statement and the accompanying
proxy card are being mailed to stockholders on or about June 25, 1999.  The
Annual Meeting is called for the purposes stated in the accompanying Notice of
Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Notice") which are to (i) elect a board of
directors, (ii) amend the 1997 Stock Option Plan and (iii) ratify the selection
of auditors.

If a proxy is properly signed and is not revoked by the stockholder, the shares
represented thereby will be voted by the Proxy Committee in accordance with the
stockholder's directions.  Stockholders are urged to specify their choices by
marking the appropriate boxes on the enclosed proxy card.  If no choice has
been specified, the shares will be voted by the Proxy Committee "FOR" electing
management's slate of directors, amending the Stock Option Plan and ratifying
KPMG LLP as auditors of the Company for the current fiscal year.  The Proxy
Committee presently consists of James A. Friedman, Mark P. Bischoff, William D.
Smithburg, John R. Walter and Robert R. Youngquist.

Proxy cards also confer upon the Proxy Committee discretionary authority to
vote the shares represented thereby on any matter which is not known at this
time but may be presented for action at the meeting.  The Company does not know
of any other matters that will be presented at the Annual Meeting.  If any other
matter comes before the Annual Meeting, or any of its adjournments, however, the
members of the Proxy Committee will vote in accordance with their best judgment.

A proxy may be revoked at any time before it is exercised by voting in person
at the Annual Meeting or by a later proxy, or by written notice of revocation
bearing a later date which is delivered to the Secretary of the Company at or
prior to the Annual Meeting.

A majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at this meeting and
represented in person or by proxy shall will constitute a quorum.  The vote of
the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power which is present
in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before
the meeting.


Cost and Manner of Solicitation

The Company will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies, including the
charges and expenses of brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees, and
fiduciaries for forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of the
Company's stock.  Solicitations will be made primarily by mail, but certain
directors, officers or regular employees of the Company may solicit proxies in
person or by telephone or telegram without special compensation.


Available Reports: Incorporation by Reference

This Proxy Statement is accompanied by a copy of the Company's Annual Report to
Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.  That report
includes financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998 audited by
KPMG LLP, the Company's independent accountants.  The Annual
Report to the Stockholders is furnished for information only and no part
thereof is incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement.

UPON WRITTEN REQUEST OF ANY STOCKHOLDER, THE COMPANY WILL PROVIDE, WITHOUT
CHARGE, A COPY OF ITS ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-KSB, WITHOUT EXHIBITS.  THE
EXHIBITS THERETO WILL BE AVAILABLE AT A CHARGE OF $.20 PER PAGE.  REQUESTS
SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO THE COMPANY IN CARE OF INVESTOR RELATIONS, PRIME CAPITAL
CORPORATION, O'HARE INTERNATIONAL CENTER, 10275 W. HIGGINS ROAD, ROSEMONT,
ILLINOIS 60018.


Voting Securities

The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on June 4, 1999 as the
record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at,
the Annual Meeting.  The voting securities issued and outstanding as of
June 4, 1999 consist of 4,467,840 shares of the Company's common stock,
$.05 par value ("common stock"), each share of which is entitled to one vote.

Proposal 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Voting for Directors

Unless the stockholders shall vote otherwise, a Board of five Directors will be
elected at the 1999 Annual Meeting.  The By-laws of the Company provide for
six Directors.  All Directors are elected annually and hold office until
the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors have been
elected and qualified.

The persons named below have been nominated by the Board for election as
Directors.  Messrs. Friedman, Bischoff, Smithburg, Walter and Youngquist have
served as Directors since the respective dates set forth below.  The Board has
no reason to anticipate that any nominee will decline or be unable to serve.
In the event that any nominee does decline or is unable to serve, proxies may
be voted for the election of a substitute nominee or may be voted for a lesser
number of Directors.  In the absence of instructions to the contrary, proxies
will be voted for the election of the Directors named below.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the election of the nominees for
Directors.

Certain information concerning the nominees is set forth below.

                      Capital Corporation.


The Board of Directors

The Company's business is managed under the direction of the Board of
Directors.  During 1998, the Board of Directors held four regular meetings. The
standing Committees of the Board are the Executive Committee, the Audit
Committee, and the Compensation and Stock Option Committee.  The Board does not
have a standing Nominating Committee.  All Directors attended all meetings of
the Board of Directors and meetings held by all committees of the Board on
which the Director served during the period that the Director served.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Executive Committee exercises all the powers and authority of the Board of
Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Company during
the intervals between meetings of the Board, subject to the restrictions set
forth in the By-laws.  The members of the Executive Committee are:  James A.
Friedman (Chairman), William D. Smithburg and John R. Walter.  The Executive
Committee met once during 1998.

The Audit Committee has the general responsibility for establishing and
maintaining communications with the Company's internal and independent
accountants, reviewing the methods used and examinations made by the auditors
in connection with the Company's published financial statements and reviewing
with the auditors the Company's financial and operating controls.  The members
of the Audit Committee are:  Mark P. Bischoff and William D. Smithburg.  The
Audit Committee met twice during 1998.

The Compensation and Stock Option Committee (the "Compensation Committee")
oversees the Company's compensation and benefit policies and programs,
including the administration of the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan  (the
"1997 Plan").  The Compensation Committee also has general responsibility for
the Company's personnel and compensation matters. The Compensation Committee
presently consists of the following Directors of the Company: Mark P.
Bischoff, William D. Smithburg, and Robert R. Youngquist.  The Committee met
twice during 1998.


Proposal 2

AMEND THE STOCK OPTION PLAN
  (a)  Increase the aggregate number of available shares from 750,000
       shares to 1,250,000 shares;
  (b)  Increase the numbers of shares that may be granted to any
       individual employee during any calendar year from 200,000 shares
       to 350,000 shares;
  (c)  Allow the Board of Directors to authorize the issuance of
       restricted stock grants; and
  (d)  Allow the Board of Directors to set the per share price of
       granted options (which may be below the market price).

      The Company, through the Board of Directors, administers a stock option
      plan.  The Company desires to remain competitive in the industry in
      order to be able to continue to retain its best personnel, reward
      key employees and attract new people to the Company. In addition, the
      changes would increase the flexibility of the Board of Directors in
      issuing stock options.  The Board of Directors believes this type of
      incentive arrangement is critical for this purpose and believes these
      amendments to the Stock Option Plan will assist in achieving these
      objectives.

The affirmative votes of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock
are required for approval of the Amendment.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" this proposal.

Proposal 3

SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1999

The Board of Directors has selected the firm of KPMG LLP, independent
accountants, to audit the accounts of the Company for its fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999.  The Company has been advised that neither that firm nor any
of its partners has any other relationship, direct or indirect, with the Company
or its subsidiaries.

It is expected that a representative of KPMG LLP will be present at the Annual
Meeting with an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and
be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" this proposal.

upon appropriate notice.  The executive agrees to be bound by certain
confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-compete provisions contained in the
respective agreements.

Compensation Pursuant to Plans

The Company has adopted the 1984 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "ISO Plan"),
the 1986 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Non-Qualified Plan"), the 1987
Stock Option Plan (the "1987 Plan") and the 1997 Plan.  All descriptions of the
various plans are qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual Plan
documents which are available for examination.

The 1997 Plan supercedes and replaces the ISO Plan, the Non-Qualified Plan and
the 1987 Plan (collectively, the "Former Plans").  No additional stock options
can be granted under the Former Plans.  Any unexercised options granted under
the Former Plans that expire or are otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms
of the Former Plans shall be immediately made available for the grant of new
options under the 1997 Plan.

The 1997 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors.  The Board selects
eligible persons for participation and determines the number of shares to be
subject to option, the per share option price, the time and conditions of
exercise, the vesting rights of the optionee, the repurchase rights of the
Company, and all other terms and conditions of the options not specified in the
1997 Plan.  The Board interprets the provisions of the 1997 Plan, may prescribe
rules for its operation, and any such interpretation or rule will be final and
conclusive as to all parties.  The Board may delegate the responsibility for
the administration of the 1997 Plan to the Compensation Committee.
