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 go with a Smart Drive UK Belfast Driving Instructor Franchise?

Smart Drive UK offers only driving instructor franchise contracts that are beneficial to ADIs. With the contract, approved driving instructors are always in control of what happens during their stay with the company. Franchisees with the company enjoy flexibility as they can elect to leave at any point in time.

The company’s brand of driving instructor franchise means that they have many satisfied franchisees without any reasons to look elsewhere. 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 Should ADIs embrace a Driving Instructor Franchises in Belfast?

All newly qualified driving instructors have to determine if they will go the driving instructor franchise route or start their own business from scratch. 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. Every ADI relies on recommendation for their supply of pupils. 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. This is why many ADIs don’t find it easy in the first few months or years of starting their own driving school. This is where joining a franchise such as the Smart Drive UK Belfast driving instructor franchise makes sense.

How to pick a driving instructor franchise in Belfast

You have to ensure due diligence when picking a Belfast Driving Instructor Franchise as you can’t afford to make any mistakes.

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 most popular driving schools can grab all the attention, but it is always important to check local options.

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. Aside from the contract, the frequency of pupil supply is the next thing you should be concerned about.

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.
