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 Choose Smart Drive UK for Gravesend 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. The company offers a franchise agreement that ensures ADIs are in full control without any financial outlays. The company has become a respected name in the industry because franchisees are never held against their will to a contract.

Unless required by student demand, Smart Drive UK will not hire more driving instructor franchisees in Gravesend to compete with you. 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 are Driving Instructor Franchises in Gravesend a very good idea?

All newly qualified driving instructors have to choose between signing up for a franchise or starting their own business soon after qualification. 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. Different challenges face any newly qualified drivers that decides to start their own businesses. For every ADI, the key to a steady supply of pupils is maintaining a healthy base of satisfied pupils that can do word of mouth marketing. Recommendations will only come after you have built a positive reputation over a period of time.

Drawing pupils could require building a social media presence, building a website and spending a decent sum on marketing in various media. 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. This is where joining a franchise such as the Smart Drive UK Gravesend driving instructor franchise makes sense.

Choosing the Gravesend Driving Instructor Franchise to work with

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

Making a mistake with the selection process could mean losing 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 local companies have been on the ground for years and thus have local networks in place for a steady supply of pupils. Aside from the contract, the frequency of pupil supply is the next thing you should be concerned about.

Smart Drive

You should seek reassurances on the supply of pupils to be certain about profitability as an ADI that is part of a franchise. 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.
