assets

A business asset is any property of value—including tangible assets (real estate, machinery, buildings, building fixtures, tools, vehicles, equipment, computers, printers, furniture, warehouse shelving, cash, inventory), and intangible assets (accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, software licenses, vendor relationships, corporate brand, patents, copyrights, trademarks, goodwill, trade secrets).

In Utah, a business asset encompasses anything of value owned by a business, which can be either tangible or intangible. Tangible assets include physical items such as real estate, machinery, buildings and their fixtures, tools, vehicles, equipment, computers, and inventory. Intangible assets are non-physical and include items such as accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, software licenses, business relationships, brand reputation, and intellectual property rights like patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. The valuation and treatment of these assets are governed by Utah state statutes and federal law, which dictate how they are to be accounted for in financial statements, taxed, and handled during business transactions, such as sales or mergers. Additionally, certain regulations may apply to the protection of intellectual property and the recording of assets for tax purposes.
