Franchise OpportunityOwn a Landlord-Accounting Practice
A landlord accounting franchise you can run from home, anywhere in the UK. No upfront fee. No cut of your earnings. No lock-in. Build your own practice under a specialist brand, with our systems, tools and full training behind you - as one of our founding franchisees. Current as at 12 September 2026.
THE OPPORTUNITY
A Niche Whose Time Has Come
From April 2026, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax began applying to landlords and sole traders with income over £50,000 - dropping to £30,000 in 2027 and £20,000 in 2028. Hundreds of thousands of landlords now need proper, digital, quarterly record-keeping for the first time. Few bookkeepers specialise in property. That gap is the opportunity.
Landlord Accounting is built for exactly this: a specialist system for landlord bookkeeping, tax records and the working papers a landlord’s accountant needs. We are opening it up as a franchise so others can run their own landlord-accounting practice under the brand - from home, anywhere in the UK - with the whole system handed to them. This is an early, founding opportunity: you would be among the first franchisees, getting in as the network is built rather than years after everyone else.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
None of the Usual Barriers
✓ No upfront fee
Most accountancy franchises charge £10,000 to £20,000 just to start. We charge nothing to begin.
✓ No cut of your earnings
Most take a royalty of 4–8% of everything you bill. We take none. You keep every pound you earn.
✓ No lock-in
No minimum term and no tie-in. You stay because it works for you, not because a contract traps you.
WHAT YOU GET
The Whole System, Handed Over
- The brand - trade as Landlord Accounting, a specialist landlord-focused name.
- The website & tools - the client-facing site, calculators and templates you have seen here.
- The working papers - our full set of landlord ledgers, schedules and reconciliations.
- Full training - including our Accounting & Xero course and our landlord method.
- The niche know-how - Section 24, property ledgers, completion statements, capital gains working papers.
- Ongoing support - you are never left to work it out alone.

HOW THE MONEY WORKS
One Simple Monthly Licence
Your only cost to us
£750/mo
first 18 months, while you establish
£595/mo
ongoing after that - the fee drops
A flat monthly licence - the same whether you bill £2,000 a month or £20,000. No royalty, no percentage, no share of your growth. Everything you earn above the licence is yours.
How we compare
| Landlord Accounting | A typical UK accountancy franchise | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront fee | ✓None | £10,000–£20,000 |
| Cut of your earnings | ✓None - you keep it all | 4–8% of your turnover |
| Minimum term / tie-in | ✓None - leave any time | Often multi-year |
| Monthly licence | ✓£750, then £595 - flat | Monthly fee plus royalties |
| Specialism | ✓Built for landlords | General small-business accounting |
Figures for other franchises are typical market ranges from published 2026 franchise data, for comparison only.
Before you decide. These figures are the cost of the licence, not a promise of what you will earn - your income depends on the clients you win. We encourage you to take independent legal and financial advice, and to take your time, before committing. Full terms are set out in the franchise agreement, which we provide in advance.
THE ECONOMICS
Do the Maths Yourself
We will not put earnings promises in front of you - your income depends on the clients you win, and that is your effort. But the maths is simple, and the numbers are public.
Our own published rates are on the pricing page: from £19–£29 per property per month, plus one-off work. Take a client with a small portfolio, and it takes only a modest handful of clients to cover the £750 monthly licence. Every client beyond that is your margin.
Work it out against your own target: your expected number of clients × our rate card, less the flat licence. There is no percentage taken off the top - what you bill, less the licence, is yours.
WHO CAN DO THIS
Two Starting Points, One Opportunity
You do not need an accounting background to start. What matters is being organised, professional and willing to learn.
Already have accounting or bookkeeping skills?
You will move quickly. We add the landlord specialism, the brand, the systems and the tools on top of what you already know - so you can focus on winning clients.
No accounting background?
That is fine too. We train you from the ground up, including our Accounting & Xero course and our landlord method. Prior experience helps, but a willingness to learn matters more.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Right Person, Honest Fit
This suits you if you are
- organised, professional and self-motivated;
- willing to learn bookkeeping, Xero and our method;
- prepared to win your own clients and build a real practice;
- in it to build something recurring and lasting.
This is not for you if you want
- guaranteed income or clients handed to you;
- a passive, hands-off side project;
- to learn the method and then leave to compete;
- a get-rich-quick scheme - this is a real business.
HOW IT WORKS
From Enquiry to Launch
- Register your interest
Get in touch and tell us a little about yourself and why this appeals to you.
- A straight conversation
We talk it through honestly - what is involved, what it costs, and whether it is a genuine fit for you. We are as keen to find the right people as you are to find the right opportunity.
- Application and assessment
If the conversation goes well, we send you our application form to complete. It asks about your background and experience so we can assess suitability fairly - your details are handled in line with our Privacy Policy.
- Time to consider, and to take advice
We give you the franchise agreement and full details in advance, and we encourage you to take independent legal and financial advice and a proper period to reflect. There is no rush and no pressure to sign.
- Training
If we both go ahead, we train you fully - bookkeeping, Xero, and our landlord system - and hand over the brand, website and tools.
- Launch and build
You start trading as Landlord Accounting, win your clients, and build your practice - with our support behind you and no lock-in holding you.
Interested?
If this sounds like the opportunity you have been looking for, register your interest and we will arrange a straight, no-pressure conversation.
Landlord Accounting is a new franchise offering. Nothing on this page is a forecast, projection or guarantee of earnings; your results depend on your own effort and the clients you win. Full terms are set out in the franchise agreement, which we will provide before you commit.
QUESTIONS
Franchise: Your Questions
Is there an upfront fee?
No. Most accountancy franchises charge £10,000 to £20,000 to start. We charge nothing upfront. You pay a simple monthly licence once you begin - nothing before.
Is there a lock-in or minimum term?
No. There is no tie-in. You can leave at any time by giving notice. We would rather you stay because the model works for you than because a contract traps you.
Do you take a percentage of what I earn?
No. Unlike most franchises, we take no royalty and no share of your turnover. You keep every pound you earn from your clients. The only thing you pay us is the flat monthly licence.
What does the monthly licence cost?
£750 a month for the first 18 months, then it drops to £595 a month ongoing - a flat fee, regardless of how much you earn.
Do I need to be a qualified accountant?
No. We train you, including in Xero and our landlord-specific bookkeeping method. You do need to be organised, professional, and willing to learn and to put the work in to win your own clients.
Will you find clients for me?
No, and we are straight about this: winning clients is your effort. We give you the brand, the website, the systems and the training - the tools to win and keep clients - but the work of building your client base is yours.
What do I actually get for the licence?
The Landlord Accounting brand; our full set of working papers, templates and calculators; the client-facing website and tools; complete training including our Accounting & Xero course and our landlord method; and ongoing support.
What is the training?
Structured training in bookkeeping and Xero, plus our landlord-specific systems - Section 24, property ledgers, completion-statement reconciliations, capital gains working papers, and the deliverables that make a landlord’s accountant’s job easy.
Do I get an exclusive area?
Not at this stage. The arrangement is non-exclusive - you can serve clients wherever you find them. As the network grows we may introduce area arrangements, but we do not tie you, or ourselves, to a territory now.
Who is this for, and who is it not for?
It suits an organised, self-motivated person who wants to build a real, recurring practice and is prepared to win their own clients. It is not for anyone looking for guaranteed income, leads handed to them, or a passive side project.
