TAX STORE’S FAQS
Q. Do I have to set up a proper office or shop front?
Q. How does the royalty system work?
We firmly believe your business will accelerate at a more rapid rate if you have an office or shop front. So as a requirement of your franchise agreement you will need to establish one within 2 years of signing. You need to get written permission from management if you have other ideas.
Each franchisee is required to pay a flat fee of 6% of all fees earned to the franchisor. These payments are required on a monthly basis
Q. How much profit can I expect to earn from my franchise? Effort in equals profit out. Your Tax Store business will be as successful as you make it. We can’t provide estimates or guarantees, as it really is variable. However, we do know that our model works as we have very successful franchisees earning excellent incomes.
Q. Do I have to do my own advertising? Tax Store has a central marketing fund for promotion of the Tax Store brand and services on a national basis. Each franchisee pays into this fund at the rate of 2% of turnover In addition, business owners are responsible for their own local marketing and advertising. We are happy to provide assistance and guidance on what has worked for others in the network.
Q. Tax returns happen once a year – will my business be negatively affected by seasonality? Whilst individual tax returns are annual, (our focus is on small business accounting) there is a great deal of other work a Tax Store business owner could - and should - be doing for their clients. Ongoing income streams such as bookkeeping, financial reporting and BAS preparation, plus strategic tax and business planning, superannuation and investment property services will ensure consistent work throughout the year. You could also derive income from Financial Planning & loans via referral.
