What Do Assets Mean for Businesses?
An asset (or business asset) is anything that has value or is useful to a company, helping it operate and succeed.
- A company’s assets include any valuable items, resources, or even people that contribute to its success.
- These assets are essential for the business to run smoothly.
- Assets can be money, products, services, information, employees, technology, and other physical or non-physical resources.
- It doesn’t matter if the asset is physical or digital, or if the company owns it outright.
- Businesses protect their assets based on how important they are.
- Importantly, assets don’t always have to be owned; for example, employees are assets because companies rely on them to keep things running, make products, and deliver services.
