Assets are resources or items that a company, enterprise or even an individual can control, and these items can be sold or used to obtain a specific price or value in the market. Broadly, there are two major categories of assets, tangible and intangible, although these further comprise many different types of assets which will be discussed later.
A tangible asset could include any item, product or real-estate property, gold and even liquid cash. So if someone owns a flat or a plot of land, that is a tangible asset to them. A car, or some expensive equipment that can yield a hefty value when sold, is also an asset meaning that these items can give you financial benefits in the future.
A singer or an artist or a writer usually holds copyrights to their artistic works, albums and books. A scientist or designer can also file patents for their scientific work, innovations in design and breakthroughs in their work. All of these comprise intangible assets. When and if necessary, such assets can be sold, or used to increase the amount of money the individual or the company has.
