LEDGERS - UNIT
Ledgers offers unit franchises for operating a business that provides business advisory, bookkeeping, payroll, and income tax preparation services to small and medium-sized businesses within a designated territory. Franchisees use the franchisor's prescribed system and processes, operating from a single location and promoting services actively. The business model emphasizes seasonal demand during tax season (January-April) and competes with national, regional, local, franchised, non-franchised, and online providers.
