Exhibit A
Tax Preparers work in Mobile
Mobile has a steady base of tax preparation work: national chains with storefronts along the main retail corridors, regional firms, and a long tail of owner operators who file returns out of small offices and home desks across the city and the surrounding county. Demand clusters in the weeks before the filing deadline and again around extension season, and it is spread across both the franchise brands and independent preparers, so searches for a preparer in Mobile return a mixed field rather than one dominant name. That mix is the demand available: people typing for a preparer near them, for help with a specific form, and for someone who knows the local filing picture.
