How does our Franchise Deal work?

Our ethical approach prioritises community support over commercial gain, and as such, we only charge £36.00 per week to join our team. This is used to support your work and our charitable initiatives.

We do however require you to deliver 30 hours worth of charitable lessons every year. We will arrange this on your behalf from our approved list of charities.

Upon joining Driving Equality, you instantly qualify for 4 weeks of payment break every year. There’s no ongoing contract trapping you in. We proudly advertise our franchise offer with full transparency (Unfortunately this is extremely rare in our industry). This ensures you are treated fairly and that all of our instructors are providing an equal contribution.

You also retain the freedom to manage your own personal driving portfolios (providing it doesn’t make use of our logo, imagery, templates, wording or any other intellectual property).

Driving Equality has industry-leading infrastructure that is consistently updated and managed on your behalf. This is used to meet your business needs such as providing students that fit your schedule.

We also provide a clear non-negotiable pricing model that is updated yearly to remain competitive to your local area. This ensures you receive a clear and fair income.

Reasonable support in other fields can also be offered based on circumstance and need.

You will be provided with a work e-mail, access to our online booking platform, a branded top box and promotional materials. We will also help handle student inquiries and ensure you enjoy a regular supply of students via our company advertisements.

Driving Equality will not make direct financial gains from your work with us. Instead, we reinvest all of our profits into improving the company and enhancing the resources you’ll have at your disposal.

From its inception, Driving Equality’s mission has been to ensure that those who have the greatest need of driving skills can freely acquire them. We aim to realise this ambition by appointing new instructors and expanding into new areas, this enables us to expand the scope of our charitable initiatives.

Due to the high demand for our invaluable driving support, we are continuing to develop high-quality, freely accessible online resources to assist our students through the learning process. We wish to see a future where people are no longer priced out of gaining vital life skills.
