SiempreTax+ Ranked a Top New Franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., April 24, 2018 -- Liberty Tax, Inc. (NASDAQ:TAX)

For the second consecutive year, SiempreTax+ has been ranked a Top New Franchise by Entrepreneur magazine. The magazine’s Top New Franchises list recognizes the Top 100 companies that have been franchising for five years or less, based on data submitted to the magazine. Liberty Tax, Inc., the parent company of SiempreTax+, created the national brand in 2014 to serve the unique and diverse needs of Hispanic consumers.

“The SiempreTax+ brand has opened the doors of opportunity to entrepreneurs who want to own a business that provides a valued local resource,” said CEO Nicole Ossenfort. “Our commitment to communities is the driving force behind the concept.”

SiempreTax+ franchises are an affordable option in a reliable industry. The brand is backed by Liberty Tax Service, an award-winning franchise and a leader in tax preparation services. SiempreTax+ is an innovator that provides professional tax preparation plus a wide array of services, such as ESL classes, notary, faxing, and more, for the growing Hispanic market.

“More than 20 percent of the companies that applied for this year’s Franchise 500 ranking are young, having only been franchising for five years or less,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur. “These newcomers are challenging their older and larger competitors with innovative models, marketing methods, and menus.”

Entrepreneur’s 2018 Top New Franchises ranking was determined using the company’s Franchise 500 formula, which is a comprehensive evaluation of more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. The position of SiempreTax+ on the ranking shows that the brand has made a strong start on its franchising journey.
