Operating assets are the business holding with a value that fuels a business's ability to generate income.

It can be the equipment that a business uses to produce goods or even contracts such as set terms of price to buy raw goods or distribution rights. It can also pertain to rights such as patents or even royalty income.

An operational asset simply is the ownership of any item that can generate more income in it's ownership and use yet has disposable value or may not have disposable value. Example machinery past use may be recycled for scrap metal offer so value in disposal to the owner or business.

These assets also have the ability to depreciate or increase in value - options where they increase is interest earning investment holding or if a antique business age and rarity value increase.
