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 is the Smart Drive UK Pudsey 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. With the contract, approved driving instructors are always in control of what happens during their stay with the company. Franchisees remain with Smart Drive UK out of their own volition.

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. Most Driving Instructors in Pudsey that join the Smart Drive UK Franchise go on to remain with the company on a long-term basis. The company is fully committed to ensuring that ADIs are fully booked as quickly as possible, and there are guarantees on pupil numbers.

Why is a Driving Instructor Franchise in Pudsey a good idea?

All newly qualified driving instructors have to determine if they will go the driving instructor franchise route or start their own business from scratch. The decision is a hard one as there are many benefits to each side of the argument. Running your own driving school comes with some unique challenges. Every ADI relies on recommendation for their 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 ADIs, earning a full-time income quickly is a top priority thus making the first few months or years as an ADI turbulent. Becoming a part of a franchise like the Smart Drive UK Pudsey driving instructor franchise gives ADIs the opportunity to start earning money immediately while gradually building their own business.

Choosing your Pudsey Driving Instructor Franchise

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

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.

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. A constant supply of driving school pupils is only second to the actual contract when it comes to a franchise agreement.

Smart Drive

Success as an ADI is impossible without a full diary weekly, so you need to seek guarantees where possible. If you are looking for a Pudsey driving instructor franchise that ticks all the right boxes, contact Smart Drive UK today.

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.
