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 Harrogate Driving Instructor Franchise?

With Smart Drive UK, there is no risk of subscribing to a driving instructor franchise contract that is detrimental to your overall profitability as an ADI. 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.

Unless required by student demand, Smart Drive UK will not hire more driving instructor franchisees in Harrogate to compete with you. Driving instructors in Harrogate stay with Smart Drive UK on a long-term basis due to their unique advantages. 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 are Driving Instructor Franchises in Harrogate 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. 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. Recommendations will only come after you have built a positive reputation over a period of time.

Drawing pupils could require building a social media presence, building a website and spending a decent sum on marketing in various media. Many ADIs do not have what it takes to draw new pupils in the early days of their driving school and make a profit, so for this reason many struggle. The main way to start earning immediately is to participate in a franchise such as the Smart Drive UK Harrogate driving instructor franchise.

How to pick a driving instructor franchise in Harrogate

When you make the decision to join a driving instructor franchise in Harrogate, you have to carefully pick the right company.

When you choose the wrong franchise, you will be tied to a lengthy contract which could cost you time and money. It is easy to get engrossed with some of the well-known names, but some of the more local names can yield better results.

The primary reason for this is that local companies have been around your target area and must have built a reputation with local people. After your franchise agreement, the steady supply of work is the next important factor when picking a 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.
