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 Chelmsford Driving Instructor Franchise?

Smart Drive UK offers only driving instructor franchise contracts that are beneficial to ADIs. ADIs are in total control and are not required to make any financial commitments with a contract from the company. The company has made a name in ensuring ADIs remain with them by choice instead of being tied down by a contract.

With Smart Drive UK, there is no issue of dealing with multiple instructors in Chelmsford unless the company can guarantee an adequate number of students. Driving instructors in Chelmsford stay with Smart Drive UK on a long-term basis due to their unique advantages. ADIs have full diaries with Smart Drive UK, and the company offers a guarantee on the minimum number of pupils per instructor.

Why is a Driving Instructor Franchise in Chelmsford 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. The decision is a hard one as there are many benefits to each side of the argument. Choosing to run your own driving school comes with its own unique set of challenges. Recommendation is vital for any ADI seeking a decent supply of pupils. Marketing and a positive reputation, both long-term factors, are needed to be able to gain recommendations.

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. Becoming a part of a franchise like the Smart Drive UK Chelmsford driving instructor franchise gives ADIs the opportunity to start earning money immediately while gradually building their own business.

How to pick a driving instructor franchise in Chelmsford

When choosing a driving instructor franchise in Chelmsford 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. 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.

Local businesses already have a strong presence in your target location, making them the more likely option to go with for pupils in the area and nearby. Alongside the franchise contract, a steady supply of work is the next vital factor when choosing to go with a particular driving instructor franchise.

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.
