How much will I really earn?
Here’s what the big national schools don’t tell you…….
An example of how a franchise might work with me
30 hours at £32.50 = £975
Expenses: Fuel £80 per week, Franchise fee per week £50, total £130. You must supply your own car and have appropriate insurance.
£845 earnings per week but remember this is a self employed job so this is before your Tax and National Insurance is deducted.So before Tax and National Insurance if you work 48 weeks a year you could earn £40,560.
But remember that’s only if you maintain 30 hours a week, some weeks could be 20 hours some could be 40. You can expect good weeks and bad weeks so realistically it’s impossible to say exactly how much you will earn.
When you take into account that our franchise fee is less than most other Driving Schools it puts it into perspective just how many hours you would really need to do to earn what most Driving Schools claim you can earn, at the end of the day do you want to work 7 days a week to earn £30,000 per year and can they really supply you with that many pupils?
But, you are your own boss and can go on holiday whenever you choose, and work the hours you choose.
