What we look for in potential franchise partners
While tax experience is beneficial, it's not required. Our franchise partners come from diverse backgrounds including:
Common questions about our franchise opportunity
No, prior tax experience is not required. Our comprehensive training program will teach you everything you need to know about tax preparation and business operations. While tax or financial background can be helpful, we place more emphasis on business acumen, leadership skills, and sales ability. Our most successful franchise partners come from diverse backgrounds including business ownership, sales, corporate management, and financial services.
The typical timeline from application approval to grand opening is approximately 8-12 weeks. This includes the franchise agreement process (1-2 weeks), initial training (2 weeks), office setup (2-4 weeks), and pre-launch marketing (2-4 weeks). The exact timeline can vary based on factors such as location selection, lease negotiations, and renovations required for your office space. Our franchise development team works closely with you throughout this process to ensure an efficient and smooth launch.
We provide comprehensive ongoing support including: 1) A dedicated franchise business consultant who works with you on business development strategies, 2) Technical support from our tax experts for complex tax questions, 3) Marketing support including national campaigns and localized marketing assistance, 4) Regular training updates on tax law changes and business improvements, 5) Annual conferences and regional meetings for networking and continuing education, 6) Operations support for technology, workflow, and business management, and 7) R&D for new service offerings and revenue streams to keep your business growing.
Territory sizes are determined based on population and business demographics rather than strict geographical boundaries. Typically, a franchise territory will include a population base of approximately 50,000-75,000 people, which provides sufficient market potential for a successful business. In metropolitan areas, this might cover several suburbs, while in regional areas it could encompass a larger geographical area. Each territory is carefully analyzed to ensure it provides adequate business potential based on demographic factors including income levels, business population, and competition analysis.
While the tax industry naturally has a busy season (July-October in Australia), our franchise model is designed to generate revenue year-round. We've developed multiple service offerings that extend beyond tax season, including: 1) Quarterly BAS services for businesses, 2) Bookkeeping services, 3) Financial planning referrals, 4) Business advisory services, 5) Tax planning consultations, and 6) Subscription-based client retention programs. Many of our franchise partners achieve a 60/40 revenue split, with 60% during tax season and 40% throughout the rest of the year. Our training and business development programs focus heavily on building these year-round revenue streams.
While individual results vary, most franchise partners achieve a break-even point within their first 12-18 months of operation. Based on our current franchise network performance, the average franchise partner recoups their initial investment within 24-36 months. Factors that influence ROI timeline include location quality, execution of marketing plans, operational excellence, and the owner's personal involvement in business development. Our business model is designed for long-term growth, with most franchise partners seeing significant revenue increases in years 2-5 as client retention and referrals build their client base.
