UNDERSTANDING THE INITIAL AND ONE TIME COSTS FOR START-UP FRANCHISES

Starting a franchise in Phoenix involves unique costs that need to be handled with care. Presti & Naegele assists franchisees with budgeting and structuring these expenses strategically. Unlike traditional startups, franchises provide a ready-built framework that includes operational guidance and brand support.

Franchise fees are classified as intangible assets and must be amortized over a 15-year period—they cannot be fully deducted in the first year.

You’ll also encounter start-up costs like training, equipment, inventory, and furnishings. We help Phoenix franchise owners allocate these expenses in ways that align with tax rules and support early financial efficiency.

ROYALTY AND ADVERTISING FEES

Franchise owners across Phoenix turn to P&N to help manage royalty and advertising fees—essential parts of franchise operations that need close monitoring.

✔ Royalty Fees – These fees are paid monthly and based on a percentage of your gross revenue. They allow continued use of the franchisor’s systems, intellectual property, and support resources. Most range from 4% to 12%.

✔ Advertising Fees – These payments fund brand-level marketing efforts. In Phoenix, where visibility matters, these campaigns help draw in customers citywide. If your monthly revenue is $25,000 and your marketing fee is 2%, you’d contribute $500 monthly, or $6,000 annually.

STATE FRANCHISE TAX


Franchise tax rules in Arizona can vary, and understanding your responsibilities as a Phoenix franchise owner is crucial. State-specific calculations, exemptions, and reporting standards can impact your business if not properly managed.

Presti & Naegele helps local franchisees comply with all applicable Arizona tax laws, ensuring accurate filings and ongoing peace of mind.


MAINTAINING ACCURATE RECORDS


Bookkeeping is the backbone of reliable accounting for franchises in Phoenix. We help owners maintain precise, up-to-date records that support daily operations and prepare you for every stage of your financial reporting cycle.

From tracking income to managing expenses and cash flow, our services keep Phoenix franchisees organized and empowered to make sound business decisions.


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Clean financial records are essential when preparing statements for your franchisor. While some require updates only quarterly or annually, others may request monthly reports to monitor unit performance.

Franchise owners in Phoenix should be ready to share timely reports as outlined in the FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document). We help ensure your documentation is always accurate and submission-ready.
