Tax Franchise Opens 90th Branch

A leading tax franchise is opening its 90th shop front.

John Thomas will run the latest addition to the TaxAssist Accountants Network, located in Newport, South Wales.

John, who joined the January 2009 training course and moved into his premises in May, explains why he decided to have a shop front rather than work from home or an office:

Positive

“When I joined TaxAssist Accountants I immediately saw the benefits of being based in a shop front. I spoke with other franchisees who had made the move and the positive things they told me were backed up by statistical evidence.

“I knew I was required to be in a shop front within three years so I decided go into one as soon as possible to save myself the cost and aggravation of having to move in a couple of years.

“Since moving into my shop front the difference to my business has been extraordinary with business literally walking through the door!”

The shop-front concept was developed with the aim of attracting local small business owners with a fresh, modern and stylish look. Not only does the shop front lend visibility and accessibility they also offer the credibility that working from home or an office simply could not provide.

Well over half of the 165 TaxAssist Accountants franchisees are now operating from shop-front premises. The TaxAssist Accountants network now looks after more than 29,000 clients, making them the largest UK accountants’ network helping small businesses.

Franchisees don’t need any formal accountancy qualifications as full training is given, but you do need a relevant career background, self-motivation, discipline, ambition and a willingness to work hard.
