Tracking a Franchise Setup Fee in Zoho Books
I have just paid an amount of money to a Franchise Company in the UK (Im in the UK too). It is the initial fee and the agreement runs for 5 years and then 3 months on a rolling basis. This is how Im approaching recording the transaction and need to know this will appear correctly in my balance sheet.
I have created a new account under CoA called 'Non-current asset' with Account Type of 'Other Asset'.
I have debited this new account with the entire cost of the initial franchise fee.
I have credited the bank account that the money came from.
.
So I have 2 questions.
a) is this the correct setup and will that reflect correctly in my balance sheet
b) I believe the amount can be amortized and I would then debit this as a franchise expense and credit the new account created above - is this correct?
