Frequently asked questions

How is this invoice different from a standard invoice?

This invoice is tailored for intangible asset licensing, with fields for asset type, billing period, and royalty calculations. It ensures you capture the specific terms of your licensing agreement, such as running royalties or minimum annual payments, which are not typical in standard product invoices.

Can I use this invoice for franchise fees?

Yes, the invoice includes 'Franchise Agreement' as an asset type option. It is suitable for invoicing ongoing franchise fees, marketing fund contributions, or other fees under a franchise agreement.

What should I do if my license agreement has complex royalty calculations?

You can use the 'Description' field to explain the calculation method, such as '5% of net sales for Q1 2024.' For very complex calculations, consider attaching a separate royalty statement to the invoice.
