Services We Offer:
UNDERSTANDING THE INITIAL AND ONE TIME COSTS FOR START-UP FRANCHISES
If you’re launching a franchise in New York, Presti & Naegele can help you understand the start-up costs and how to manage them wisely. Unlike starting a brand from the ground up, franchising gives you a turnkey business model backed by training, branding, and operational support from the franchisor.
The franchise fee you pay up front is considered a long-term asset and must be amortized over 15 years, not deducted in full right away.
Other costs to budget for include furnishings, inventory, and franchisor-led training. We help New York franchisees allocate these expenses strategically to maximize your allowable deductions early on.
ROYALTY AND ADVERTISING FEES
At P&N, we help franchise owners across New York manage the ongoing costs of royalty and advertising fees—two crucial elements of operating under a franchise system.
✔ Royalty Fees – These are paid monthly to the franchisor and calculated as a percentage of your revenue. In exchange, you maintain access to the brand’s systems, tools, and support. These fees generally range from 4% to 12% of sales.
✔ Advertising Fees – These fees fund broader marketing efforts led by the franchisor. For New York franchisees, this helps build brand awareness and attract customers in busy, competitive markets. For example, a 2% advertising fee on $25,000 in sales results in a $500 monthly contribution, or $6,000 a year.
STATE FRANCHISE TAX
Franchise businesses in New York must comply with state-specific franchise tax laws. These requirements vary from other states in terms of rate structures, exemptions, and filing methods.
We assist franchisees throughout New York with understanding and meeting these tax rules, helping them avoid penalties and maintain compliance without the stress.
MAINTAINING ACCURATE RECORDS
Clear bookkeeping is the backbone of effective accounting for franchises in New York. Our team supports franchisees with detailed recordkeeping that tracks every transaction and keeps your business financially sound.
With a strong bookkeeping process in place, you’ll have better visibility into performance, be prepared for tax season, and make decisions with greater confidence.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Keeping accurate records helps ensure timely and accurate financial statements. While not every franchisor demands monthly reporting, many expect quarterly or annual updates to monitor performance.
Franchisees in New York should be ready to meet these requirements as outlined in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). P&N works with you to maintain your books and meet reporting deadlines with confidence.
