What account would you put expense for a tree plaque in? Its something that will obviously stay in the business for years, but isn't really cap exp is it?

Hi Would a Tool Hire company do the bookkeeping of it's "hire stock" of fixed-assets (tools) differently ? Also, would the repair/maintenance of the "hire stock" be treated as a Cost Of Sale rather than a business expense ? cheers
