Everyone has heard of Jackson Hewitt. They’ve been around since 1960 and in 1986, they started offering a franchise opportunity when electronic tax filing was introduced. If you have knowledge about how the tax game is played and done, there is always a market here. Nobody likes doing their taxes and therefore, there will always be ready and willing people to pay you for it.

Franchisees get the benefit of LOTS of experience, training, and marketing support and if you follow their lead, I believe you can be successful. With 5400 franchises across the nation, people are doing it obviously. Another thing to remember here is that taxes are a seasonal thing. There is also a lot of competition. We can all name 3 or 4 major competitors off the cuff so expect nothing easy here.

If you’re looking for a quicker turn around for your money, this franchise is not the one to get involved with. This is a career oriented business and it takes awhile.
