Instant Tax Service® Expands in 19 New Markets

DAYTON, OH (January 19th, 2010) - Instant Tax Service, Entrepreneur Magazine’s top new franchise in 2008 and 2009, continues to grow even during tough economic times. This year, Instant Tax Service added 155 new franchisees to its system and sold 326 territories.

The company was also able to expand into 19 new markets. Instant Tax Service now operates over 1,200 locations in 39 states.

“With the economy the way it is, our franchise recruitment season definitely surpassed our expectations,” says Brook Wise, Vice President of Franchise Recruitment for Instant Tax Service. “What a lot of people are realizing is that franchising is a great way to transition from traditional employment to entrepreneurship.”

The average franchisee came into the system with a down payment of just $14,000- $34,000 in franchise fees, according to Wise. The company is able to do this by offering flexible financing options to franchisees. Fez Ogbazion, CEO of Instant Tax Service, says the company is always willing to invest in promising franchisees.

“The industry distinction I’ve always been most proud of is our ranking as Entrepreneur Magazine’s lowest-cost franchise,” says Ogbazion. “We make it possible for working people to own their own business. That’s not something you hear from most franchises.”

In 2010, the company hopes to expand its franchise system into 15 new markets and partner with an additional 178 franchisees. For more information about franchising with Instant Tax Service, visit instanttaxservicefranchise.com or call 888.870.1040.
