Exhibit A
Bookkeepers work in Lubbock
Lubbock bookkeeping demand comes from a wide base: small retail and service businesses, farm and ranch operations across the South Plains, medical and dental practices, and the steady flow of people starting businesses near Texas Tech. The searches are spread across the city rather than concentrated in one district, and they lean toward practical phrases: bookkeeping services, monthly bookkeeping, payroll help, QuickBooks help, tax season bookkeeping. Much of the local market is made up of owner operators and small independent firms rather than national franchises, so the searches are often for a person or a small practice nearby rather than for a brand. That is the demand available in Lubbock, and it is steady rather than seasonal in the way retail demand is.
