Why Choose Us?

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 Hartlepool 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. With the contract, approved driving instructors are always in control of what happens during their stay with the company. They have made a name in the business by being one of the few companies where franchisees can leave when they want.

Smart Drive UK does not hire multiple driving instructors in Hartlepool unless demand for instructors requires more instructors. With the company’s mode of operations, it is easy to see why they are top on the list for ADIs looking for driving instructor franchise opportunities in Hartlepool. 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 Hartlepool a very good idea?

One of the decisions you have to make as a newly qualified instructor is whether to set up your own business as an independent instructor or to take on a driving instructor franchise. 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. To run your own driving school business, there is a set of challenges that must be navigated. 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.

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. Becoming a part of a franchise like the Smart Drive UK Hartlepool driving instructor franchise gives ADIs the opportunity to start earning money immediately while gradually building their own business.

Choosing the Hartlepool Driving Instructor Franchise to work with

When you make the decision to join a driving instructor franchise in Hartlepool, you have to carefully pick the right company.

When you choose the wrong franchise, you will be tied to a lengthy contract which could cost you time and money. Don’t ignore local driving schools when looking for franchise opportunities even in the presence of some of the more popular names.

The local companies have been on the ground for years and thus have local networks in place for a steady supply of pupils. After your franchise agreement, the steady supply of work is the next important factor when picking a driving instructor franchise.

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.
