Why Choose Us?

We undestand the risk to yourself of commiting to a contract that has either no guarantee of providing a specifc number of pupils or some that promise to give you only 50 pupils per year (that’s less than one per week). That is why we have created a NO Risk Franchise that leaves you in control and no financial risk to you. We want you to join and stay with us not because the contract term says you must but because you want to, and you love what we do for you, and we will not recruit another driving Instructor in your area unless we have to turn away business because you are too busy and need support. We do not have any sales teams so don’t worry just our family members explaining what we do.

97% of Driving Instructors that started with us on our trial period decided to stay with us. The other 3% left due to personal circumstances and not because of the service we provided. Filling your diary quickly is our highest priority and we will GUARANTEE a minimum number of pupils that will be given to you.

What are the Benefits of the Smart Drive UK Eltham Driving Instructor Franchise?

Smart Drive UK offers only driving instructor franchise contracts that are beneficial to ADIs. With the contract, approved driving instructors are always in control of what happens during their stay with the company. The company has become a respected name in the industry because franchisees are never held against their will to a contract.

Importantly, Smart Drive UK will not hire multiple driving instructors in your area in Eltham unless they are confident about providing a steady supply of students. It is no surprise that most approved driving instructor franchisees in Eltham stay with the company for long periods. The company is one of the few that provides guarantees to driving instructors on pupil numbers further highlighting their commitment to ensuring profitability.

Why is a Driving Instructor Franchise in Eltham a good idea?

All newly qualified driving instructors have to choose between signing up for a franchise or starting their own business soon after qualification. The decision is a hard one as there are many benefits to each side of the argument. When running your own driving school business, some bottlenecks must be navigated. For every ADI, the key to a steady supply of pupils is maintaining a healthy base of satisfied pupils that can do word of mouth marketing. Marketing and a positive reputation, both long-term factors, are needed to be able to gain recommendations.

Marketing, new website creation, and social media marketing are just some of the things you must do to bring in prospective students. For many new ADIs, earning a full-time income is important. Hence they are unable to cope with the early pressure of sourcing pupils while spreading the word about their new driving school. Becoming a part of a franchise like the Smart Drive UK Eltham driving instructor franchise gives ADIs the opportunity to start earning money immediately while gradually building their own business.

Choosing the Eltham Driving Instructor Franchise to work with

When it is time to join a driving instructor franchise in Eltham, you cannot afford to make a mistake.

Making a mistake with the selection process could mean losing time and money. The marketing clout of some of the more popular driving school companies can make them a strong option for many people, but in many cases, local businesses yield better results.

Local companies have been around for a while, making them a better option for a steady supply of pupils. The franchise contract is the first factor considered when settling for a driving instructor franchise agreement, but a steady supply of pupils should be a close second.

FAQ’s

Can I take a break off after qualifying?

Some driving instructors build up their business slowly part-time alongside a full-time job to remove any risk financially. We will support you in your process to reach your goals.

Is full-time driving instruction of 40 hours or more per week a business with 40 pupils per week?

We encourage students to take lessons lasting and in 20 minutes (2 hours). 20 pupils are normally enough to be a full-time teacher with Smart Drive UK. In between lessons, travel time will be needed. We build multi-of learner drivers by encouraging block bookings.

Numbers of clients will Smart Drive UK give me?

Our advertising campaigns run throughout the year on a local and national basis positioning Smart Drive UK as a leader in local driving school provision. You can also promote your driving instructor business through our time-tested advice, resources, and marketing materials.

Is there a charge for supplying students?

You will not have to pay to get more students.

Will I be employed by Smart Drive UK?

No. Both independent driving schools and franchised driving instructors tend to be self-employed in the UK. Driving instructors have the benefit of being their boss.

You choose your work hours and organise your schedule to fit around your life. Driving instructors value the flexibility of the hours and the schedule; flexibility that is found in few other careers.

The nature of self-employed businesses is that the more you are willing to invest in terms of your time and energy the more you will get out in terms of financial rewards and job satisfaction.
