  • Standard Franchise – work full time and take the lead in finding learners, learners supplied at a charge

Core elements of the package

The core elements of our package are arguably some of the best in the industry. Just look what you get:

A new car – Equipped with dual controls, your car will be fully insured, serviced and maintained. And we replace it on a “new for old basis” every 32 weeks.

  • 24hrs emergency replacement service (including out of hours)
  • Diesel, Automatic and Bluetooth options available (at a cost)
  • Standard exchanges will be delivered to your home “key for key”
  • Free AA breakdown, glass damage and tyre replacement cover
  • Accident repair and claims notification by AA Accident Management

Diary management – We can handle enquiries, book lessons and take payments for you from our state of the art contact centre open 7 days a week. Plus you can view your diary at any time on our online portal. Which all means you're free to make more money.

A local BSM Manager – Your nominated General Manager will give you all the assistance and advice you could need. They'll help grow your business and maximise your profit – and they're only ever a phone call away.

Finding you learners – With our recognised brand, nationwide advertising and extensive marketing, BSM is first choice for tens of thousands of new drivers each year. And what better advertisement than our fleet of 2,000 plus cars – all clearly BSM-branded?

Handling payments – Taking payment from your learners couldn't be easier. They can use a credit or debit card online, simply ring up our contact centre; or they can pay you directly in the car.

Keeping up – We also operate a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme. This programme of courses and workshops aims to help driving instructors improve their skills and increase their potential income. The courses are open to all approved driving instructors (ADI) and prospective driving instructors (PDI), and are an effective way to diversify your skill set. Courses take place nationwide throughout the year.

Maximise your earnings & save money

At BSM, we're really on the side of our instructors – so we do whatever we can to help them both maximise their income and save as much money as possible.

Earn more with skills – depending on your experience, and your eagerness to learn there are lots of opportunities for instructors to earn additional income above and beyond teaching learners to drive. From mentors to coaches to instructor trainers to fleet work… there is plenty of choice, for full details on all opportunities speak to our instructor team today.

Organising finances is a vital part of being a franchisee as you'll be responsible for your own tax and National Insurance.

Statements – At a glance weekly statements will help you keep track of lesson fees you've earned, franchise fees you've paid and the current state of your account. You will also be able to access these through your online portal.

Staying in touch – Our online instructor forum will keep you up to speed with the industry and is the place to express your views, ask questions & gain advice from other instructors across the UK.

Insuring a named driver – Private use for your partner is available (small admin fee applies).

BSM Prestige Franchise

  

The BSM Prestige Partner Franchise takes the worry and hassle out of being an instructor with a full package of franchise benefits.

We'll find you learners – With our Prestige Partner Franchise, your focus is completely on teaching people to drive, because we'll help find you pupils at no charge, your cab rank priority system ensures we have a fair way of distributing learners each week. You will also have access to local support through your general manager.

Sickness cover - Free standard cover on sickness & accident insurance

Lower fees for long service – The longer you stay on a BSM franchise, the lower the fee becomes. It's our way of rewarding your loyalty.

Save with fee-free weeks– With the Prestige Partner Franchise, you get two franchise free weeks, no matter when you join us. Then after 2 years service you will get another one fee-free week that you can use any time through the year. And after four years, you'll get one more fee-free week. So after 4 years service you get 4 weeks fee-free.

How much could you earn?– BSM gives you some of the best earning possibilities in the industry. But how much you earn will depend on how many hours you work and what you charge. So to find out more about how much you might earn, call the BSM team on 0845 851 9571* They'll be happy to help.

BSM Standard Franchise:

A Standard Franchise gives you a different option to the prestige franchise, where the fee is at a lower cost but for each pupil allocated you will be charged. The charge for pupils is between £20 & £40 depending on the amount of hours the pupil has purchased. You will still be in the cab rank system and benefit from free standard cover on sickness and accident along with Loyalty discount.

The same support – Prestige and Standard franchisee instructors enjoy including the private use of a BSM tuition car seven days a week, help with finding learners (Standard at a charge), and business management support. The BSM Standard Franchise gives you the option to change to the BSM Prestige Franchise at any point.

How much could you earn? – BSM gives you some of the best earning possibilities in the industry. But how much you earn will depend on how many hours you work and what you charge. So to find out more about how much you might earn, call the BSM team on 0845 851 9571*. They'll be happy to help.

BSM PDI Franchise

Here at BSM we recognise many instructors like to get some experience under their belt prior to taking their part 3 exam. To support this we have introduced a new PDI only franchise model that gives PDI’s the opportunity to focus on passing their part 3 exam whilst running a reduced franchise. We believe pupils and parents should always be told upfront if they are to be allocated a PDI (so that they can make an informed choice). Therefore it is reasonable that with this lower franchise fee comes lower lesson rate tariffs.

Your focus should be on passing your part 3 rather than worrying about delivering lessons to pay a franchise fee. Full training support will be given and when qualified you will be required to switch to an ADI Franchise

How much could you earn?

BSM offers some of the best earning opportunities and incentives in the industry. Unlike some driving schools, we don't go in for unrealistic and vague earning figures. For a personalised earnings illustration call one of the BSM team on 0845 851 9688*.
