Liberty Tax Service Franchise Opportunities
We’re #1! Liberty Tax Service is the fastest growing international tax service ever! In seven years, Liberty Tax Service has grown to the size it took the other national tax franchises thirteen years to realize. Since its inception six years ago, Liberty Tax Service has continued to rise in the ranks of nationally recognized franchise opportunities. Low start-up costs and the certainty of taxation provides an enticing business opportunity in an arena historically dominated by one major player: H&R Block. There’s a growing market since more and more and more people pay taxes each year. It’s recession-proof, since paying taxes is a certainty regardless of the current economic forecast, or fluctuating stock market. Over 60% of taxpayers paid a preparer to do their taxes for them last year. Liberty Tax Service is an aggressive player with over 1800 offices in the US and Canada.

Liberty’s growth is fueled by a proven operating system that has been fine-tuned by the leadership and field support staff’s 400 total years of tax experience. Founder and CEO John Hewitt has worked 36 tax seasons, including 12 with H&R Block. Then, he founded Jackson Hewitt, and grew it from a regional operation to a national force in the industry with over 1340 offices.

No prior tax experience is required to put this proven system to work for your success! Are you ready to build a tax business on this cornerstone of expertise with support in training, marketing, software, research, and development?

Tax Industry Perspective: A Growing Market
One major player, H&R Block, has dominated the tax industry for nearly 40 years. More and more people must file a tax return each year. The IRS projects that the number of individual returns filed will grow at 1.5% a year through 2008. Sixty percent of taxpayers paid a tax preparer to complete their taxes in 2002.
