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 Hampshire 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. 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 Hampshire unless the company can guarantee an adequate number of students. It is no surprise that most approved driving instructor franchisees in Hampshire stay with the company for long periods. 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 sign up for a Driving Instructor Franchise in Hampshire?

Starting your own business or signing up for a franchise are the two main routes available to any newly qualified driving instructor. The decision is a hard one as there are many benefits to each side of the argument. 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. Marketing and a positive reputation, both long-term factors, are needed to be able to gain recommendations.

Drawing pupils could require building a social media presence, building a website and spending a decent sum on marketing in various media. 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 Hampshire 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 Hampshire

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

The primary reason why you need to carefully select your company of choice is the fact that most contracts are long term without any easy get-out clause. It is easy to get engrossed with some of the well-known names, but some of the more local names can 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.

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.
