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 Join a Smart Drive UK Berkshire Driving Instructor Franchise?

Smart Drive UK’s driving instructor franchise contracts are carefully formulated to make sure ADIs are not mandated to stick to contracts offering less than one student a week. 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.

Unless required by student demand, Smart Drive UK will not hire more driving instructor franchisees in Berkshire to compete with you. With the company’s mode of operations, it is easy to see why they are top on the list for ADIs looking for driving instructor franchise opportunities in Berkshire. The company is one of the few that provides guarantees to driving instructors on pupil numbers further highlighting their commitment to ensuring profitability.

Why sign up for a Driving Instructor Franchise in Berkshire?

All newly qualified driving instructors have to choose between signing up for a franchise or starting their own business soon after qualification. There are positives to both sides of the argument, so the option you go for at the end of the day will be dependent on your particular situation. 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.

Getting the right number of pupils requires building a website, engaging potential students on social media and investing in various forms of marketing. Many ADIs do not have what it takes to draw new pupils in the early days of their driving school and make a profit, so for this reason many struggle. Joining a franchise like the Smart Drive UK Berkshire driving instructor franchise, on the other hand, makes it possible to start earning right away and ensure a full diary as fast as possible.

How to find a profitable Berkshire driving instructor franchise

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

Making a mistake with the selection process could mean losing time and money. Don’t ignore local driving schools when looking for franchise opportunities even in the presence of some of the more popular names.

Pupils in the area will want to go with a local company that has been around for a while instead of a big name company with offices far away. Aside from the contract, the frequency of pupil supply is the next thing you should be concerned about.

Smart Drive

Success as an ADI is impossible without a full diary weekly, so you need to seek guarantees where possible. If you are looking for a Berkshire driving instructor franchise that ticks all the right boxes, contact Smart Drive UK today.

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.
