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 Derbyshire 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. The company offers a franchise agreement that ensures ADIs are in full control without any financial outlays. The company has become a respected name in the industry because franchisees are never held against their will to a contract.

With Smart Drive UK, there is no issue of dealing with multiple instructors in Derbyshire unless the company can guarantee an adequate number of students. Most Driving Instructors in Derbyshire that join the Smart Drive UK Franchise go on to remain with the company on a long-term basis. The company is devoted to filling the diaries of ADIs under their franchise and offers a guarantee to provide a minimum number of pupils based on reliable estimates.

Why are Driving Instructor Franchises in Derbyshire a very good idea?

Starting your own business or signing up for a franchise are the two main routes available to any newly qualified driving instructor. There are considerations to be made on each side of the divide, and the ultimate decision is down to you as the ADI. To run your own driving school business, there is a set of challenges that must be navigated. Recommendations and referrals are your best bet to getting new clients as an ADI. It takes time to build the reputation and engage in the right level of marketing to make your driving school recommendations work.

You will need to spend money on marketing, create a website and build social media presence to effectively draw pupils. 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. This is where joining a franchise such as the Smart Drive UK Derbyshire driving instructor franchise makes sense.

Choosing the Derbyshire Driving Instructor Franchise to work with

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

When you choose the wrong franchise, you will be tied to a lengthy contract which could cost you 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.

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

Without pupils, you can’t earn so be certain to confirm the situation and seek guarantees where possible. Smart Drive UK has all the features of a top driving instructor franchise in Derbyshire so get in touch with them right away.

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.
