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 Barking Driving Instructor Franchise?

Smart Drive UK does not support driving instructor franchise contracts that offer as low as one student per week and contracts without any guarantees. They are one of the few driving instructor franchise providers where ADIs are in control of what happens with their contracts. Franchisees remain with Smart Drive UK out of their own volition.

With Smart Drive UK, there is no issue of dealing with multiple instructors in Barking unless the company can guarantee an adequate number of students. It is no surprise that most approved driving instructor franchisees in Barking 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 Should ADIs embrace a Driving Instructor Franchises in Barking?

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 advantages to each route taken which further toughens the selection process. Running your own driving school comes with some unique challenges. ADIs that have a steady supply of pupils know that recommendations are vital. This requires strong marketing and a stellar reputation, which takes time to develop.

You will need to spend money on marketing, create a website and build social media presence to effectively draw pupils. This is why many ADIs don’t find it easy in the first few months or years of starting their own driving school. Joining a franchise like the Smart Drive UK Barking driving instructor franchise, on the other hand, makes it possible to start earning right away and ensure a full diary as fast as possible.

How to pick a driving instructor franchise in Barking

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

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. 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. A constant supply of driving school pupils is only second to the actual contract when it comes to a franchise agreement.

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.
