On The Spot Tax Limited signs up its first franchisee

The first Sussex based accountancy firm to franchise its practice, has recently signed up its first franchisee.

Chamber member, Paula Tomlinson, Managing Director of On The Spot Tax Limited based near Haywards Heath, is delighted to announce the signing of her first franchisee, Alison Morrison.

Alison brings over 20 years experience as a Chartered Accountant both from working within the Big 4 accountancy firm and large retail commercial environments. Her vast retail knowledge on markets, margins and overheads are readily translatable to our SME sector client base. She is also extremely personable and approachable, essential qualities for an On The Spot franchisee.

Paula, "I am thrilled that Alison has agreed to become a franchisee.

"Whether the SME is an existing business or a promising start up, we provide advice and guidance by being fully engaged with the owner and his issues."

With a large number of redundancies there are many ex-employees starting up a business for the first time. On The Spot meets you to fully understand your ambitions and business model.

They take you through the tax rules and opportunities, providing advice on the most appropriate entity to trade through while optimising the available tax allowances. Tax reliefs are essential in improving cash flow for new businesses at a time when set up costs are being incurred and sales haven't yet built up.

And once you're up and running, On The Spot continues its face to face service as it's an easier, more effective and quicker way to get to understand the latest developments in the business. They meet you regularly to ensure they are updated and the latest tax reliefs are being claimed. And to make sure the communication isn't diluted, you deal only with the person doing the work throughout the year. This is all included within our agreed fixed fee.

Franchising provides an excellent opportunity to deliver this service, through a support network of motivated individuals. They appreciate how their clients work, understand the direct connection between owner and business, and make ourselves available at days and times that suit the business.

By providing flexible working within a challenging and rewarding role, they expect more franchisees from across Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire to sign up over the forthcoming year.
