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.

Why Choose Smart Drive UK for Shefford Driving Instructor Franchise?

Smart Drive UK does not support driving instructor franchise contracts that offer as low as one student per week and contracts without any guarantees. No financial commitments are needed on the part of ADIs, and the company ensures total control for drivers as well. Franchisees remain with Smart Drive UK out of their own volition.

Importantly, Smart Drive UK will not hire multiple driving instructors in your area in Shefford unless they are confident about providing a steady supply of students. Driving instructors in Shefford stay with Smart Drive UK on a long-term basis due to their unique advantages. The company is fully committed to ensuring that ADIs are fully booked as quickly as possible, and there are guarantees on pupil numbers.

Why sign up for a Driving Instructor Franchise in Shefford?

All newly qualified driving instructors have to choose between signing up for a franchise or starting their own business soon after qualification. There are considerations to be made on each side of the divide, and the ultimate decision is down to you as the ADI. Running your own driving school comes with some unique challenges. Recommendation is vital for any ADI seeking a decent supply of pupils. This requires strong marketing and a stellar reputation, which takes time to develop.

Drawing pupils could require building a social media presence, building a website and spending a decent sum on marketing in various media. This is why many ADIs don’t find it easy in the first few months or years of starting their own driving school. The main way to start earning immediately is to participate in a franchise such as the Smart Drive UK Shefford driving instructor franchise.

Top tips for finding a profitable Shefford driving instructor franchise

You have to ensure due diligence when picking a Shefford Driving Instructor Franchise as you can’t afford to make any mistakes.

When you choose the wrong franchise, you will be tied to a lengthy contract which could cost you time and money. It is easy to get engrossed with some of the well-known names, but some of the more local names can 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.

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.
