Services We Offer:
UNDERSTANDING THE INITIAL AND ONE TIME COSTS FOR START-UP FRANCHISES
Starting a franchise in Houston comes with specific costs that must be planned for properly. At Presti & Naegele, we help you understand and manage those early investments to ensure smooth financial setup. Unlike starting an independent business, franchising gives you built-in training, support, and branding from the franchisor.
The initial franchise fee is considered an intangible asset and cannot be written off immediately. It is amortized over a 15-year period, per tax guidelines.
Beyond that, Houston franchisees should budget for furnishings, equipment, inventory, and required training. We help you structure these expenses to take advantage of available tax deductions right from the start.
ROYALTY AND ADVERTISING FEES
Franchisees in Houston rely on P&N to manage royalty and advertising fees—two ongoing costs that are key to maintaining your role within a franchise system.
✔ Royalty Fees – These monthly fees are calculated as a percentage of your gross revenue and cover brand access, support services, and operational tools from the franchisor. These rates typically range from 4% to 12%.
✔ Advertising Fees – These contributions go toward franchise-wide marketing efforts. In a city like Houston—where visibility matters—this helps drive traffic and reinforce brand strength. A 2% advertising fee on $25,000 in monthly revenue would equal $500 a month, or $6,000 annually.
STATE FRANCHISE TAX
Texas has its own rules around franchise tax, and it’s important for franchise owners in Houston to fully understand how those laws apply. These requirements may differ from other states in terms of tax rates, exemptions, and reporting.
We help Houston franchisees stay in compliance with Texas-specific franchise tax laws, ensuring that you meet your obligations without the hassle of navigating it alone.
MAINTAINING ACCURATE RECORDS
Our bookkeeping services are an essential part of accounting for franchises in Houston. Keeping accurate records ensures you have a clear picture of your business’s performance and are ready to meet tax deadlines without issues.
We help Houston franchise owners monitor revenue, track expenses, and manage cash flow—all with the goal of keeping operations running efficiently and transparently.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Proper financial reporting relies on consistent, organized recordkeeping. While monthly reports aren’t always required, most franchisors request quarterly or annual updates to check on performance.
Franchisees in Houston should maintain clean records and be ready to submit statements as outlined in the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). We make sure you're prepared to meet those expectations with ease.
