Question – Do I use the Bookkeeping Biz in a Box Name?

Also, unlike a franchise you don’t keep paying for the privilege of using the name for the rest of your business life.
Part of the licence package is a session with our marketing expert, who will help you choose a name if you haven’t already done so.
Question – Is Bookkeeping Biz in a Box Licence Expensive?
Answer – Compared to most bookkeeping franchises it is a very inexpensive way of getting all the information to help you survive in your first critical year.
Once you compare the costs you will be more than pleasantly surprised at the saving you will make compared to a franchise.
Question – So if it costs less, can it be as good as a franchise system?
Answer – Yes it can. There are quite a few bookkeeping and accounting franchises are available, and many of them are very good.
However, most franchisees become disenchanted after a few years when they no longer need the help and support that they needed in the first critical period.
When we decided to setup Bookkeeping Biz in a Box, we spent 18 months developing the concept, that way we took the parts that we felt were valuable and did not include the parts of a franchise that people come to resent after a while.
The result, you can get the same systems and information that you would buying a franchise, but for a fraction of the cost!
Question – What if I feel that I need the extra ongoing mentoring and support that a franchise provides?
Answer – We felt that 3 months support is enough to give you the concepts and information to build a successful bookkeeping business.
However, we are aware that some people prefer to have the ongoing mentoring and support and we have thought of that. After your initial 3 months, you can continue to receive support for a small monthly fee.
However there is no expectation and it is not mandatory. If you do decide to continue with the ongoing mentoring and support, you can stop it at any time.
