contribution of business
English terms are perhaps not correct but it means that the company / entity originated from the contribution of the pre-existing business of Mr Schmidt. This is inventories, customers, location (including rental agreements) and all that constitute the business. Not only cash.

: You have the right meaning, but wrong preposition. It sounds awkward in English to say "contribution OF business". "Contribution from Mr. Schmidt's business" or "contribution from Mr Schmidt's business to another business." Get rid of "of". LOL

(cash) capital contribution
Standard term. 'Apport' can be in cash or in kind. Mr Schmidt could also have contributed non-financial business assets to the venture. Better to use a noun that works for both possibilities rather than have to talk about 'non-cash assets invested'.
