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 Bridgwater 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. With the contract, approved driving instructors are always in control of what happens during their stay with the company. The company has made a name in ensuring ADIs remain with them by choice instead of being tied down by a contract.

Importantly, Smart Drive UK will not hire multiple driving instructors in your area in Bridgwater unless they are confident about providing a steady supply of students. With the company’s mode of operations, it is easy to see why they are top on the list for ADIs looking for driving instructor franchise opportunities in Bridgwater. 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 is a Driving Instructor Franchise in Bridgwater 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. There are advantages to each route taken which further toughens the selection process. Running your own driving school comes with some unique challenges. Every ADI relies on recommendation for their supply of pupils. This requires strong marketing and a stellar reputation, which takes time to develop.

Getting the right number of pupils requires building a website, engaging potential students on social media and investing in various forms of marketing. 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. Becoming a part of a franchise like the Smart Drive UK Bridgwater driving instructor franchise gives ADIs the opportunity to start earning money immediately while gradually building their own business.

How to find a profitable Bridgwater driving instructor franchise

Your decision on the driving instructor franchise in Bridgwater 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. 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. Alongside the franchise contract, a steady supply of work is the next vital factor when choosing to go with a particular 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.
