Assets is the resources of the business. It is the material one has, to make a difference. A nice term for it is something that has probable future economic benefit, or which has a future and is potentially valuable. For example, food in the refrigerator is an asset because it has a value and we can eat it. Asset Inquiry and management refers to the management of your company’s assets. The term also applies to dealing with other organisations’ or companies’ investments. Assets can be tangible, are things we can touch and include buildings, land, computers, or office equipment. Intangible assets are things we cannot touch such as intellectual property, goodwill, financial assets, or human capital.
