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 Carlisle Driving Instructor Franchise?

With Smart Drive UK, there is no risk of subscribing to a driving instructor franchise contract that is detrimental to your overall profitability as an ADI. No financial commitments are needed on the part of ADIs, and the company ensures total control for drivers as well. Franchisees with the company enjoy flexibility as they can elect to leave at any point in time.

With Smart Drive UK, there is no issue of dealing with multiple instructors in Carlisle unless the company can guarantee an adequate number of students. Driving instructors in Carlisle 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 Carlisle?

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. When running your own driving school business, some bottlenecks must be navigated. Every ADI relies on recommendation for their supply of pupils. This requires strong marketing and a stellar reputation, which takes time to develop.

Marketing, new website creation, and social media marketing are just some of the things you must do to bring in prospective students. This is why many ADIs don’t find it easy in the first few months or years of starting their own driving school. Becoming a part of a franchise like the Smart Drive UK Carlisle driving instructor franchise gives ADIs the opportunity to start earning money immediately while gradually building their own business.

How to find a profitable Carlisle driving instructor franchise

When choosing a driving instructor franchise in Carlisle to join, you need to ensure you have made the right decision.

The wrong choice of franchise will not only lead to stagnant or non-existent earnings, but you could also lose money from your pocket. Don’t ignore local driving schools when looking for franchise opportunities even in the presence of some of the more popular names.

Local companies have been around for a while, making them a better option for a steady supply of pupils. After your franchise agreement, the steady supply of work is the next important factor when picking a driving instructor franchise.

Smart Drive

Success as an ADI is impossible without a full diary weekly, so you need to seek guarantees where possible. Smart Drive UK has demonstrated its ability as a top driving instructor franchise in Carlisle so contact them 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.
