Common questions about franchises

What is a franchisor?

A franchisor is the entity that grants individuals the right to operate a franchise business. They develop a successful business model, provide training and support, and receive upfront fees and ongoing royalties from franchisees. Franchisors are known for establishing prominent brands with multiple franchise locations.

What are franchise fees and royalties?

Franchise fees and royalties have distinct roles in franchising. Franchise fees, including the initial fee, are upfront payments for training, support, and brand usage. On the other hand, royalties are ongoing fees based on sales volume, contributing to support, marketing, and network growth. Understanding this difference is essential for financial planning.

What is the accounting perspective on fees and royalties?

When it comes to the accounting perspective on fees and royalties in franchising, there are several important considerations. From an accounting standpoint, franchise fees are classified as intangible assets and are typically recorded as an upfront expense on the balance sheet. On the other hand, royalties are considered recurring expenses and are recorded on the income statement. Accountants play a crucial role in helping franchisees budget for both the upfront franchise fees and ongoing royalty fees payments, ensuring that necessary cash flow management is maintained to cover these expenses.
