TaxAssist opens 70th shopfront

TaxAssist Accountants has opened its 70th outlet with the launch of Peter Sewell’s franchise in Llandudno, North Wales

“The support centre were very proactive and helped me select two possible locations in the territory,” says Sewell. “I have been very pleased with the outcome of the shopfront format. Since opening the shop it has definitely given me a strong presence in the local area and people are popping in to see us at a rate of five walk-ins per week. We have signed up over 20 clients in four weeks, which is a testimony to having a high profile and credibility on the high street.”

Says Karl Sandall, chief executive of TaxAssist Accountants, which specialises in services for small businesses: “It is very clear to us that moving into shopfront premises will continue to be the way forward for all franchisees. We have always had complete confidence in this. Professionalism and business stature within the community are immediately elevated with the increased profile of a shopfront office, which in turn improves local business relationships and increases referrals of new business to our accountants.”
