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 Manchester 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. With the contract, approved driving instructors are always in control of what happens during their stay with the company. The company has made a name in ensuring ADIs remain with them by choice instead of being tied down by a contract.

Smart Drive UK franchisees never have to worry about extra competition from other franchisees because the company only takes on new instructors when student numbers dictate. It is no surprise that most approved driving instructor franchisees in Manchester stay with the company for long periods. To further show their commitment towards providing a steady stream of income for driving instructors, the company offers a guarantee on pupil numbers.

Why sign up for a Driving Instructor Franchise in Manchester?

Starting your own business or signing up for a franchise are the two main routes available to any newly qualified driving instructor. There are advantages to each route taken which further toughens the selection process. Choosing to run your own driving school comes with its own unique set of challenges. ADIs that have a steady supply of pupils know that recommendations are vital. It takes time to build the reputation and engage in the right level of marketing to make your driving school recommendations work.

Drawing pupils could require building a social media presence, building a website and spending a decent sum on marketing in various media. For many ADIs, earning a full-time income quickly is a top priority thus making the first few months or years as an ADI turbulent. The main way to start earning immediately is to participate in a franchise such as the Smart Drive UK Manchester driving instructor franchise.

Choosing the Manchester Driving Instructor Franchise to work with

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

You can’t afford to choose carelessly as you could be staring at a long-term contract that would require forfeiting hefty sums to break. 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. Aside from the contract, the frequency of pupil supply is the next thing you should be concerned about.

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.
