London continues to see unparalleled levels of growth in terms of population and business opportunities and TaxAssist franchisees enjoy strong levels of growth with new business generated through a combination of inbound leads generated by us, local marketing/networking activities and of course walk-in business for those in shop fronts.
We have worked with current TaxAssist franchisees to identify postal codes within their territories that can be combined with vacant ones to create new territories. This has generated in excess of 70 new territories within the M25 including:
Clapham Junction / Battersea
With annual entry / exit rates at Clapham Junction station totalling 26million and at peak times 117 trains stopping per hour, Clapham Junction can be viewed as a large city by itself.
Experience has shown us that opening a shop front located around a tube station or overland station similar to the Clapham Junction station (Falcon Road, Grant Road, St Johns Road, St Johns Hill, Battersea Hill, York Road etc) is a strong driver of business. The benefit of high levels of visibility of the brand will provide significant walk in business, attracting clients that both live in the Battersea area plus the high volume of self-employed individuals and contractors that travel from outside of the core Battersea postcodes to work in the Battersea area.
Other available areas include:
Putney which includes Putney overland and East Putney tube station- Wandsworth which includes Wandsworth Town station
- Whitechapel which includes Whitechapel, Stepney Green and Aldgate East tube stations
- Canning Town which includes Plaistow tube station and Star Lane DLR station
- Finsbury Park which includes Finsbury Park, Manor House and Harringay tube / overland stations.
Martin Thomas Franchisee – Victoria
Martin Thomas, our franchisee based close to Victoria station, has built up a highly successful business in the three and a half years he has been with TaxAssist. Martin’s prime location has contributed to his growth. From a standing start Martin has grown a fee bank of £430,000 with 469 clients and his business is continuing to grow at a rapid rate. Martin adds, “The network support is exceptional. It’s great to be part of a network of like-minded franchisees who share best practice and a national support centre, which holds regular regional meetings and innovation focus groups and provides training and helpdesk support across technical issues on accounting, tax, software and human resources and other essential areas such as marketing, PR and social media.”
We will be hosting 1-2-1 Discovery taster Sessions in Central London on Thursday the 21st of April to meet with anyone interested in London territories.
To register your interest please contact [email protected] and we will be happy to discuss the times available and the next steps. Places are allocated on a first come first served basis. You would still need to attend a Discovery Day at our Norwich Support Centre should you wish to join up.
