Tangible Assets are assets that can be felt and viewed physically, example Property, Furniture etc.,

Intangible assets on the other hand cannot be physically felt. example, goodwill, brand, patents

Tangible assets can be developed, or sold or renovated, which will impact overall financial position.Intangible assets can impact profitability, sale for future etc.,
