Sign up to receive this Free Ten Lesson E-course (CPA s can receive free CPE credit) "Buying a Tax Franchise: Ten Things That Might Surprise You" Have you ever considered buying a tax preparation franchise? Like one of the ones you see in strip shopping centers everywhere? Take this ten day email course to find out what it is really like to buy and run a tax preparation franchise. This course is based on my interview with a fellow CPA who bought two tax prep franchise territories and his actual experience (good, bad and unexpected). You'll get the inside story in easy to digest daily email lessons on subjects like: How much money will I make the first few years? Where will I find good tax preparers? Will the franchisor provide solid marketing support? What location will work best? At the end of the course, you can take a final exam to receive one hour of free CPE credit if desired. Anyone can take the course, but CPE credit is not available for Enrolled Agents because it does not specifically cover tax regulations. CPAs can verify state acceptance to determine if CPE is available in their state (this course is considered "interactive"). You will receive one email per day containing the course lesson.   * First Name:    * Last Name:    * Email Address:    Note: Every course email contains an unsubscribe link, if you decide you want to discontinue this course.

The following are unsolicited comments from our customers: "I just finished taking the free course "buying a tax prep franchise" and must tell you it was excellent. Really gave lots of valuable insights and some food for thought too....things to think about before taking on such a huge investment. I'm very impressed with how well you have put this course together. The idea of one "lesson" a day was especially good. It's much easier to retain what you've learned if you receive the instruction in small sections rather than try to cram a course into a few hours. The daily lesson plan is really a very good technique for learning. Without any "review" of the lessons I was able to score 100 on the final exam." --Anita Duffy, EA (Durham, CT) * * * "This was a very informative course [Buying a Tax Franchise]. I had played with the idea of a tax office but had assumed more year round work--at least through October. Once again I feel that I came away with new information after a course taken with FunCPE." --Pam Hite, CPA, CMA (Sugar Land, TX) * * * "Thank you for the free tax franchise course. I think your course has provided me with an excellent perspective on the franchise opportunity.  I am also a CPA and I have been looking to enter into franchise agreement with Liberty tax franchise. Due to my limited business and tax experience I was initially under the impression that a tax franchise is the way to go, but based on your course, my own research and discussions with various individuals, it seems that I could probably do it better on my own." Thank you again." --Anonymous, CPA * * * "I really enjoyed taking this course [Course 6007: Buying a Tax Franchise]. To my pleasure, the lessons were not too long, so they could be read whenever I had a bit of time. The messages that the writer tried to get across were quite clear, and I noticed that I didn't even have to look back at the material when answering the exam questions. It would be great if you could offer additional e-courses! I really don't have any significant suggestions for improvements. Thank you for offering such a straight-forward, fun course!
