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 Seaham 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. ADIs are in total control and are not required to make any financial commitments with a contract from the company. Franchisees remain with Smart Drive UK out of their own volition.

With Smart Drive UK, there is no issue of dealing with multiple instructors in Seaham unless the company can guarantee an adequate number of students. It is no surprise that most approved driving instructor franchisees in Seaham stay with the company for long periods. The company is fully committed to ensuring that ADIs are fully booked as quickly as possible, and there are guarantees on pupil numbers.

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

After becoming an approved driving instructor, becoming a driving instructor franchisee or starting up your own business are two main options available to you. There are advantages to each route taken which further toughens the selection process. 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. You have to build a positive reputation over a period of time before you can reap the benefits of recommendations.

Getting the right number of pupils requires building a website, engaging potential students on social media and investing in various forms of marketing. Most ADIs do not have what it takes to draw new pupils and still stay in profit in their first few years. Hence they struggle. This is where joining a franchise such as the Smart Drive UK Seaham driving instructor franchise makes sense.

Top tips for finding a profitable Seaham driving instructor franchise

Your decision on the driving instructor franchise in Seaham to go with must not be made lightly.

The wrong choice of franchise will not only lead to stagnant or non-existent earnings, but you could also lose money from your pocket. Big national companies are attractive because of their popularity, but local driving instructor franchise providers could serve you better.

The local companies have been on the ground for years and thus have local networks in place 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.
