    What are Assets?

    Assets are the resources of financial value to a business on it's books.

    Start by listing the value of any current assets (assets that can easily be converted to cash) like cash, money owed to you and inventory.

    Then move on to listing the value of fixed assets (assets that are harder to convert into cash) like buildings and machinery. Find the value of long-term investments like stocks and bonds, if any.

    Finally, calculate the value of intangible assets—non-physical assets of financial value like a business’s reputation.
