The key issues
A forecast that is yours
The forecasts provided by a network are a basis, not a guarantee. On request, we compare them with your location, your actual costs and your pay, for a realistic project.
Entry fee and royalties
Their accounting and tax treatment, and their weight in your margin.
Two reports, one set of accounts
The network’s reporting and your own management needs, from the same reliable accounts.
Structuring growth
Second unit, holding, financing: options to compare before committing.
Your goals, our answers
“I am opening my unit”
From your company’s registration: entry fee, works, start-up VAT and accounting organisation compatible with the network’s tools.
“I want to convince my bank”
On request, as an additional service: forecast, financing plan, personal contribution, guarantees; we prepare a sound, consistent file.
“I am opening my second unit”
Dedicated company or secondary establishment, holding, financing: on request, we compare the options before you commit.
The forecasts, cash-flow plans, dashboards, simulations, studies and analyses mentioned above are additional engagements, provided on request and quoted in advance in your engagement letter: the more frequent they are, the higher their cost.
Are you a franchisor or network manager?
Your franchisees need an accountant who understands your network’s model and produces reliable reporting on time. We can support your franchisees, with exchanges in English for international networks.
Frequently asked questions
How should I analyse the pre-contract disclosure document?
This document, given before signing, presents notably the network, its state and development prospects, and the franchisor’s accounts. It should be studied before signing, with your lawyer.
How are the entry fee and royalties treated?
The entry fee is generally recorded as an asset or an expense depending on what it pays for; royalties are operating expenses.
Should I set up one company per unit?
It depends on your plans, financing and risk management. We compare the options with you on request.
Do you work with the network’s tools and reporting formats?
Whenever possible: we adapt to the reporting formats and tools required by your network, from the same reliable accounts.
Can we work in English?
Yes, for franchisees and international networks; statutory filings remain in French.
