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.

Why go with a Smart Drive UK Ipswich Driving Instructor Franchise?

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. 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 does not hire multiple driving instructors in Ipswich unless demand for instructors requires more instructors. Most Driving Instructors in Ipswich that join the Smart Drive UK Franchise go on to remain with the company on a long-term basis. The company is one of the few that provides guarantees to driving instructors on pupil numbers further highlighting their commitment to ensuring profitability.

Why Should ADIs embrace a Driving Instructor Franchises in Ipswich?

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 considerations to be made on each side of the divide, and the ultimate decision is down to you as the ADI. Different challenges face any newly qualified drivers that decides to start their own businesses. 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.

You will have to participate in different forms of marketing, create a website and have some presence on social media to draw prospective driving school 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. Joining a franchise like the Smart Drive UK Ipswich driving instructor franchise, on the other hand, makes it possible to start earning right away and ensure a full diary as fast as possible.

Choosing your Ipswich Driving Instructor Franchise

When choosing a driving instructor franchise in Ipswich to join, you need to ensure you have made the right decision.

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. 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. 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.

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.
