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 are the Benefits of the Smart Drive UK Houghton-Regis Driving Instructor Franchise?

With Smart Drive UK, there is no risk of subscribing to a driving instructor franchise contract that is detrimental to your overall profitability as an ADI. They are one of the few driving instructor franchise providers where ADIs are in control of what happens with their contracts. The company has made a name in ensuring ADIs remain with them by choice instead of being tied down by a contract.

ADIs have full diaries with Smart Drive UK, and the company offers a guarantee on the minimum number of pupils per instructor.

Why is a Driving Instructor Franchise in Houghton-Regis 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. There are considerations to be made on each side of the divide, and the ultimate decision is down to you as the ADI. To run your own driving school business, there is a set of challenges that must be navigated. Recommendation is vital for any ADI seeking a decent supply of pupils. Marketing and a positive reputation, both long-term factors, are needed to be able to gain recommendations.

Marketing, new website creation, and social media marketing are just some of the things you must do to bring in prospective students. 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 Houghton-Regis driving instructor franchise gives ADIs the opportunity to start earning money immediately while gradually building their own business.

Top tips for finding a profitable Houghton-Regis driving instructor franchise

When choosing a driving instructor franchise in Houghton-Regis 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 most popular driving schools can grab all the attention, but it is always important to check local options.

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. 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.

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.
