What resources are essential to your business's success? 

• Key resources could be infrastructure, employees, Funding, distribution channels, or production processes, to name a few.
•  Your company can own key resources, lease them from a third party, or borrow from critical partners. 

Every business requires key resources. Manufacturing companies need expensive buildings and equipment, while Consulting companies require primarily human resources. 

Essential resources can be divided into four basic categories.

Physical: This would include buildings, machines, property, vehicles, and raw materials.

Human: The people that you need to run and grow your business successfully.

Financial: Loans, investments, or lines of credit. This can also include stock options for early hires.

Intellectual: This includes protectable intellectual property (IP) and human knowledge.
