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 Wetherby Driving Instructor Franchise?

With Smart Drive UK, ADIs won’t have to worry about getting tied to non-productive driving instructor franchise contracts. ADIs are in total control and are not required to make any financial commitments with a contract from the company. 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 Wetherby 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. To further show their commitment towards providing a steady stream of income for driving instructors, the company offers a guarantee on pupil numbers.

Why are Driving Instructor Franchises in Wetherby a very 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 considerations to be made on each side of the divide, and the ultimate decision is down to you as the ADI. Different challenges face any newly qualified drivers that decides to start their own businesses. Recommendations and referrals are your best bet to getting new clients as an ADI. It takes time to build the reputation and engage in the right level of marketing to make your driving school recommendations work.

You will have to participate in different forms of marketing, create a website and have some presence on social media to draw prospective driving school pupils. Many ADIs do not have what it takes to draw new pupils in the early days of their driving school and make a profit, so for this reason many struggle. The Smart Drive UK Wetherby driving instructor franchise presents an opportunity for a full diary within weeks of becoming an ADI.

Choosing the Wetherby Driving Instructor Franchise to work with

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

When you choose the wrong franchise, you will be tied to a lengthy contract which could cost you time and money. 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.

The local companies have been on the ground for years and thus have local networks in place for a steady supply of pupils. 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.
