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 Skelton 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. They are one of the few driving instructor franchise providers where ADIs are in control of what happens with their contracts. They have made a name in the business by being one of the few companies where franchisees can leave when they want.

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. Driving instructors in Skelton 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 sign up for a Driving Instructor Franchise in Skelton?

All newly qualified driving instructors have to choose between signing up for a franchise or starting their own business soon after qualification. There are positives to both sides of the argument, so the option you go for at the end of the day will be dependent on your particular situation. Choosing to run your own driving school comes with its own unique set of challenges. 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.

You will need to spend money on marketing, create a website and build social media presence to effectively draw pupils. Most ADIs do not have what it takes to draw new pupils and still stay in profit in their first few years. Hence they struggle. The main way to start earning immediately is to participate in a franchise such as the Smart Drive UK Skelton driving instructor franchise.

How to pick a driving instructor franchise in Skelton

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

When you choose the wrong franchise, you will be tied to a lengthy contract which could cost you time and money. 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. The franchise contract is the first factor considered when settling for a driving instructor franchise agreement, but a steady supply of pupils should be a close second.

Smart Drive

You should seek reassurances on the supply of pupils to be certain about profitability as an ADI that is part of a franchise. Smart Drive UK has all the features of a top driving instructor franchise in Skelton so get in touch with them right away.

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.
