Starting your own book-keeping business can be a daunting task. Some book-keepers will want the start-up and operational support that an accounting franchise can offer.
Like anything in life if it’s too good to be true – it probably is! The same applies to franchises. Whilst the majority of franchises are reputable, some are not. We recommend that you choose a franchisor who is a member of the British Franchise Association (BFA).
When you become an accounting franchisee you're gaining access to a proven business plan. This reduces the risk and ensures you have a detailed start up plan to follow. A good franchisor will provide you with the training necessary to run your accounting practice efficiently, together with (hopefully) an effective marketing plan to help get your first clients on board.
Not having any accounting experience or qualifications is not necessary an issue (depending on the franchise you select).
