Services We Offer:
UNDERSTANDING THE INITIAL AND ONE TIME COSTS FOR START-UP FRANCHISES
Starting a franchise in Atlanta involves various up-front costs, and Presti & Naegele is here to help you plan accordingly. Franchises offer a ready-made business model—complete with brand support and training—making the launch process more streamlined.
Franchise fees are considered intangible assets, which means they must be amortized over 15 years and cannot be deducted all at once.
You’ll also face other startup expenses such as equipment, furnishings, inventory, and training from the franchisor. We work with Atlanta franchisees to allocate these costs in a way that maximizes early tax benefits and sets up a sound financial foundation.
ROYALTY AND ADVERTISING FEES
Franchise owners in Atlanta depend on P&N to manage recurring royalty and advertising fees, both of which are essential to operating within a franchise system.
✔ Royalty Fees – These ongoing fees, usually 4% to 12% of revenue, are paid monthly to the franchisor. They cover access to the brand name, business model, and ongoing support services.
✔ Advertising Fees – These contributions fund broader marketing campaigns led by the franchisor. For Atlanta franchisees, this helps attract customers in a competitive retail landscape. If your monthly revenue is $25,000 and the ad fee is 2%, you'd pay $500 monthly—or $6,000 annually.
STATE FRANCHISE TAX
Franchise businesses in Atlanta must follow Georgia’s franchise tax regulations, which can differ from what’s seen in other states. Knowing the right tax rates, exemptions, and reporting guidelines is key to staying compliant.
Presti & Naegele helps Atlanta franchise owners understand and fulfill all state-specific tax requirements so that there are no surprises during tax season.
MAINTAINING ACCURATE RECORDS
Bookkeeping is an essential component of our accounting for franchises in Atlanta. Keeping your financial records up to date allows you to monitor performance and maintain compliance throughout the year.
From logging transactions to tracking cash flow, we help Atlanta franchisees stay on top of their business activity and operate with full transparency.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Accurate financial statements rely on consistent and well-maintained records. While some franchisors require quarterly or yearly reports, others may expect more frequent updates depending on your agreement.
Atlanta franchise owners should be ready to provide reports as specified in their FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document). We ensure you’re fully prepared, with clean records and organized financial data whenever it's needed.
