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 Bacup 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. They are one of the few driving instructor franchise providers where ADIs are in control of what happens with their contracts. The company has become a respected name in the industry because franchisees are never held against their will to a contract.

Importantly, Smart Drive UK will not hire multiple driving instructors in your area in Bacup unless they are confident about providing a steady supply of students. It is no surprise that most approved driving instructor franchisees in Bacup stay with the company for long periods. The company is fully committed to ensuring that ADIs are fully booked as quickly as possible, and there are guarantees on pupil numbers.

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

After becoming an approved driving instructor, becoming a driving instructor franchisee or starting up your own business are two main options available to you. 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. Marketing and a positive reputation, both long-term factors, are needed to be able to gain recommendations.

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 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 Bacup driving instructor franchise gives ADIs the opportunity to start earning money immediately while gradually building their own business.

How to pick a driving instructor franchise in Bacup

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

You can’t afford to choose carelessly as you could be staring at a long-term contract that would require forfeiting hefty sums to break. The marketing clout of some of the more popular driving school companies can make them a strong option for many people, but in many cases, local businesses yield better results.

Local companies have been around for a while, making them a better option 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 has all the features of a top driving instructor franchise in Bacup so get in touch with them right away.

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.
