Asset lock

Last updated December 02, 2025

An asset lock is a legal clause that prevents the assets of a company from being used for private gain rather than the stated purposes of the organisation.^[1]

Asset locks may be incorporated into the formal structure of a "bencom" (a benefit corporation, which is a type of industrial and provident society),^[1] community interest company, or charitable organisation.
