G.I. Jobs Names the Liberty Tax Franchise Opportunity on its 2012 “Military Friendly” List  

 

(Virginia Beach, VA) For a second straight year, Liberty Tax Service is ranked one of G.I. Jobs’ “military friendly franchises” in the June issue released May 15. According to G.I. Jobs and its survey results, the list represents “the top 10 percent of the nation’s franchises that are doing the most to recruit military veterans.” The methodology for evaluation was based 40% for a franchises’ success in recruiting military and veterans, 30% for the franchise’s participation in veteran recruiting programs such as VetFran, and 30% for financial commitment to recruiting vets and helpful incentives.  

“Veterans are used to following a proven system, and many have been successful as Liberty Tax franchisees and area developers. Franchising can be a natural fit and the next career move for veterans exiting the military, and we strive to recruit more interested in the tax industry,” said Liberty Tax Service CEO and Founder John Hewitt.  

Through the company’s membership in the IFA and its VetFran and MinorityFran programs, Liberty Tax offers an incentive to finance a second territory if the franchisee is in compliance.
