Services We Offer:
UNDERSTANDING THE INITIAL AND ONE TIME COSTS FOR START-UP FRANCHISES
Starting a franchise in Tennessee? Presti & Naegele helps new franchisees handle start-up costs with a strategy that supports tax efficiency and compliance. Rather than building from the ground up, franchises benefit from ready-made systems, branding, and operational training.
The initial franchise fee must be amortized over 15 years since it qualifies as an intangible asset—not something that can be fully deducted in year one.
You’ll also need to prepare for other start-up costs like furnishings, training, and inventory. We assist Tennessee franchisees in allocating these expenses in a way that maximizes your deductions early on.
ROYALTY AND ADVERTISING FEES
Franchise owners in Tennessee rely on P&N to track and manage royalty and advertising fees, which are standard parts of the franchise business model.
✔ Royalty Fees – Typically ranging from 4% to 12% of revenue, these fees are paid monthly and support your use of the brand, access to operating systems, and franchisor support.
✔ Advertising Fees – These fees fund broader marketing campaigns across the brand. In Tennessee’s diverse markets—from Chattanooga to Clarksville—this advertising boosts visibility. If your revenue is $25,000 per month and your ad fee is 2%, your monthly cost would be $500, or $6,000 annually.
STATE FRANCHISE TAX
Tennessee has its own franchise tax regulations that may differ from other states, making compliance especially important for franchisees operating here. Tax rates, filing methods, and rules around exemptions can vary.
Presti & Naegele helps franchise owners in Tennessee meet these obligations with ease, guiding you through the state’s requirements so your business stays in good standing.
MAINTAINING ACCURATE RECORDS
Clear, consistent bookkeeping is a core element of our accounting for franchises in Tennessee. We help franchisees maintain accurate records that support compliance, improve operational awareness, and prepare you for any reporting needs.
From tracking sales and expenses to managing cash flow, we make sure your financial systems stay organized and scalable as your business grows.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Staying ready for franchisor reporting is easier when your records are in order. Depending on your agreement, you may need to provide monthly, quarterly, or yearly updates to show performance metrics.
Tennessee franchise owners should follow the financial reporting requirements outlined in the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). Our team ensures you’re ready to deliver clean, timely reports whenever they’re requested.
