TaxAssist Accountants Franchise

Build your own practice or buy an existing business

Whether you have a business or financial background, or are currently an accountant already, we have options nationwide to purchase new territories (franchise fee: £39,950+VAT) and existing practices for sale (franchise fee £19,975+VAT).

The total investment figure will be dependent on location, working capital and level of personal drawings required, and we will work closely with you throughout the business planning process to establish the right level of investment for you.

When buying an existing practice for sale, the price and terms will be negotiated with the Franchisee selling, but typically a percentage of the total price agreed is payable on completion with deferred consideration payable at agreed intervals thereafter.

The major banks fully support the TaxAssist Accountants franchise and will typically lend up to 70% of the total investment required.

We are with you throughout your journey offering comprehensive training and full technical, marketing and business development support for you and your practice.

When you are ready to sell your practice, we can help you realise the value of your asset, on many occasions achieving prices in excess of the industry norms. Examples of actual business sale prices:

£460k fee bank, 1.3 x multiplier
£182k fee bank, 1.23 x multiplier
£190k fee bank, 1.3 x multiplier
£254k fee bank, 1.1 x multiplier
