corporate assets

Business-owned valuable resources

Corporate assets are the resources a company owns or controls that have economic value—cash, property, equipment, intellectual property, inventory.

In accounting, assets appear on the balance sheet and are classified as current (convertible to cash within a year) or fixed (long-term holdings like buildings and machinery).

The term sometimes extends metaphorically to employees: Our people are our greatest corporate asset.
