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 Bedfordshire Driving Instructor Franchise Advantage?

Smart Drive UK offers only driving instructor franchise contracts that are beneficial to ADIs. The company offers a franchise agreement that ensures ADIs are in full control without any financial outlays. Franchisees with the company enjoy flexibility as they can elect to leave at any point in time.

Unless required by student demand, Smart Drive UK will not hire more driving instructor franchisees in Bedfordshire to compete with you. Most Driving Instructors in Bedfordshire that join the Smart Drive UK Franchise go on to remain with the company on a long-term basis. To further show their commitment towards providing a steady stream of income for driving instructors, the company offers a guarantee on pupil numbers.

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

Starting your own business or signing up for a franchise are the two main routes available to any newly qualified driving instructor. The decision is a hard one as there are many benefits to each side of the argument. To run your own driving school business, there is a set of challenges that must be navigated. 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. 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. The main way to start earning immediately is to participate in a franchise such as the Smart Drive UK Bedfordshire driving instructor franchise.

How to find a profitable Bedfordshire driving instructor franchise

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

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. Don’t ignore local driving schools when looking for franchise opportunities even in the presence of some of the more popular names.

The primary reason for this is that local companies have been around your target area and must have built a reputation with local people. A constant supply of driving school pupils is only second to the actual contract when it comes to a franchise agreement.

Smart Drive

Without pupils, you can’t earn so be certain to confirm the situation and seek guarantees where possible. Smart Drive UK understands the requirements for a successful driving instructor franchise career so contact them 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.
