An asset is something a business owns and uses to run its operations over a long period of time. These are not items meant for resale, but resources that help the business carry out its activities.
- Tangible assets – such as equipment, machinery, vehicles, furniture, and property.
- Intangible assets – such as patents, trademarks, licenses, or software.
