Franchisees own c.40% of the franchisor
ADAPTING TO CHANGE IN 2020
In the most turbulent times the UK economy has seen for decades, TaxAssist franchisees have increased their stature in their local business communities thanks to unsurpassed levels of support and communication.
When coronavirus brought small business grinding to a halt, our Support Centre team worked tirelessly to ensure franchisees continually had correct and up-to-date information to meet their clients’ requests for help.
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.
