  • "I recently purchased a Tax Shop franchise. I have had nothing but support and encouragement from the entire Tax Shop team. I was advised to contact other franchisees while I was making the decision to purchase. They were so willing to share their experiences and information about The Tax Shop with me, a reflection of how satisfied they were with the franchise. I am excited to be part of The Tax Shop, a professional, hardworking and honest team and look forward to growing my business and myself as a result of my relationship with them."

We are very pleased to say that we have, from day one, experienced the franchisor as people who have the time to meet with you and they never rush your appointment to get to the next item on their agenda. They are honest, open and ethical. The give excellent support and advice. They are people that you can contact and speak to, they do not think they are untouchable like other franchisors out there.
