Question

How do I categorize the invoices paid to plumbers, electricians, etc. for updates to new retail space? Is leasehold improvements the category, and is this all an "asset?"

I'm in Canada. We have various receipts for supplies because we got some free labour from family. We also have normal invoices from plumbers/electricians where labour and supplies are included in one total.
