What this sheet is for

Record what the business owns rather than what is in the shed: a numbered list with cost and disposal, which is what an insurer or an accountant asks for.

Who it is for

Small businesses, trades, clubs, charities and anyone who has to account for equipment.

How to use it

  1. Give each asset a number and mark that number on the item itself.
  2. Record the serial number from the plate, not the box.
  3. Update the location and holder when equipment moves — that column is the one that decays fastest.
  4. Record disposals rather than deleting rows; the history is the point.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: A numbered register of the equipment a business owns — what it is, what it cost, where it is and who has it — for insurance, accounts and disposal.

Different from a tool inventory. This is not the same sheet as a tool inventory. An inventory answers what is in the shed; a register answers what the business owns, what it is worth and what happened to it. Number the assets and mark the number on the item itself.

Questions

How is this different from the tool inventory?

An inventory answers what is in the shed. A register answers what the business owns, what it cost and what became of it. If you only need one, and nobody is asking you for accounts, the inventory is probably enough.
