Why Choose Us?

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 is the Smart Drive UK Chapel-St-Leonards Driving Instructor Franchise Advantage?

Smart Drive UK does not support driving instructor franchise contracts that offer as low as one student per week and contracts without any guarantees. They are one of the few driving instructor franchise providers where ADIs are in control of what happens with their contracts.

Driving instructors in Chapel-St-Leonards stay with Smart Drive UK on a long-term basis due to their unique advantages.

Why are Driving Instructor Franchises in Chapel-St-Leonards a very good idea?

One of the decisions you have to make as a newly qualified instructor is whether to set up your own business as an independent instructor or to take on a driving instructor franchise. The final decisions will come down to you the ADI as each side of the divide has advantages. When running your own driving school business, some bottlenecks must be navigated. Recommendation is vital for any ADI seeking a decent supply of pupils. You have to build a positive reputation over a period of time before you can reap the benefits of 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.

Choosing the Chapel-St-Leonards Driving Instructor Franchise to work with

You have to ensure due diligence when picking a Chapel-St-Leonards Driving Instructor Franchise as you can’t afford to make any mistakes.

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. Don’t ignore local driving schools when looking for franchise opportunities even in the presence of some of the more popular names.

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. Aside from the contract, the frequency of pupil supply is the next thing you should be concerned about.

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?

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.
