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.

Every ADI relies on recommendation for their supply of pupils. It takes time to build the reputation and engage in the right level of marketing to make your driving school recommendations work.

Marketing, new website creation, and social media marketing are just some of the things you must do to bring in prospective students.

Top tips for finding a profitable Hitchin driving instructor franchise

When it is time to join a driving instructor franchise in Hitchin, 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. Alongside the franchise contract, a steady supply of work is the next vital factor when choosing to go with a particular driving instructor franchise.

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.
