Capital On Balance Sheet is a business term that refers to all the money (assets) and resources (equity) an organization has available at a given time. In accounting, it’s important to take into account both tangible and intangible assets when calculating capital on balance sheet. Tangible assets like cash, property, and equipment have obvious value, while intangible assets including goodwill, intellectual property, brands, patents, and copyrights are harder to assign numerical value. Knowing your capital on balance sheet gives you a better understanding of how much you have in liquid funds and how much of your total worth can be used for growth and investments.
