Out of all the major tax companies in the franchise industry, H&R Block has one of the lowest initial investment cost. Some of our competitors require an initial franchise fee that ranges from $24,000 to $39,000; however, you can operate a new H&R Block franchise for no initial fee, other than a fully refundable $2,500 security deposit. Plus, you don't pay any additional costs for national marketing and advertising.

Our service includes a specially designed office with furniture and décor available for purchase from our exclusive supplier, and a very reasonably priced insurance program. For a minimal fee (sales tax, freight and installation), we provide signage and proprietary tax software. Our experienced team can help you with questions you may have regarding payroll, office design, professional fees, start-up supplies, zoning fees, utility deposits and leasing your office.
