Your fixed assets – machinery, chairs, computers, software, and even buildings and land – are things you use every day and barely notice, but without which your business couldn’t operate. They are investments in your vision, in your people, and in your bottom line. That investment costs money and maximizing return on that investment is just as important as producing a good product.
