Canada's tax industry is worth $1.7 billion and growing at over 3% per year. A mature AppleTreeTax location generates an average of $1,000,000 annually* — backed by a proven system, professional accounting, and an unmistakable street-level brand.
Canada's tax preparation market is large, stable, and expanding — and the retail franchise segment is wide open for a brand that does it right.
A large, recession-resistant market that Canadians rely on every single year without exception.
