“I started my own business with TaxAssist Accountants because I get a buzz from helping small businesses succeed.”
Lloyd Evans, TaxAssist Accountants Kingswinford
WITH TAXASSIST ACCOUNTANTS YOU WILL BE IN BUSINESS FOR YOURSELF, NOT BY YOURSELF
Starting your own business with TaxAssist Accountants means you will have a proven business model to follow. Everything is mapped out for you, including all you need to set up your new business, a comprehensive six-week initial course, and ongoing training and support for both you and your team of accountants and advisors.
Work ON your business: your role as business owner is to lead your team and build client relationships for your practice.
Manage your team: start in your first shop with one accountant and grow your business to two or more shops with small teams.
Enjoy the rewards: make plans for your business and lifestyle, follow the model, and achieve your personal and professional ambitions.
SIX KEY REASONS PEOPLE INVEST WITH TAXASSIST ACCOUNTANTS
- Clicks and mortar model: Combining digital accountancy with trusted face-to-face advisors
- Leave corporate behind: Forget the politics and stress, work with small businesses
- Autonomy: Lead from the front and take control of your life
- Build an asset: Proven higher multiple on resale thanks to the strength of our brand
- Future-proof: We keep franchisees ahead of the digital revolution in accounting
- Unique ownership: Franchisees own c.40% of the franchisor, ensuring joint development
A UNIQUE FRANCHISING RELATIONSHIP
Our ownership structure is unique within franchising. The business is part-owned by franchisees (c.40%) and new franchisees have the opportunity to not only join a successful franchise network, but also to buy a stake in the business via shares if they choose.
Through a formal shareholder voting system, this ownership structure allows franchisees to have their say on major strategic decisions affecting the Group.
