Week 2: 1/3 Fee Due (£32)
Week 3: 2/3 Fee Due (£64)
Week 4: 3/3 Fee Due (£96)

Unlike other large national franchises, we like to keep you as local as possible. We will only market within a 10-mile radius around your home location. If in some cases, you live in a really rural part of the country then we may ask you to extend the radius in order to get you enough pupils.

There are cheaper franchises available. But cheaper doesn’t always mean more profitable.

Many low-cost franchises compete by discounting lesson prices to attract pupils. That might sound helpful at first — but it directly limits your earning potential.

Let’s look at the numbers.

A typical “cheap” franchise model:

You pay £60 per week
You charge around £30 per hour
Deliver 30 hours per week

30 hours × £30 = £900
£900 – £60 franchise fee = £840 per week

And that assumes you’re consistently getting 30 paid hours at £30 per hour.

Now compare that with Lawrence’s Driving School:

Charge £46 per hour
Deliver 30 hours per week

30 hours × £46 = £1,380
Franchise fee £79 + VAT (£94.80)

£1,380 – £94.80 = £1,285.20 per week

That’s a difference of:

£445.20 more per week

Over a year (48 working weeks):

£445.20 × 48 = £21,369.60 more per year

And that’s before factoring in:

Franchise-free weeks

Christmas bonus scheme

Higher brand positioning

Strong marketing systems

Structured lead flow

Professional support

A cheaper franchise saves you £19 per week on fees…
But can easily cost you £20,000+ per year in lost earning power.

Premium pricing attracts better pupils, builds a stronger reputation, and protects your long-term income.

The real question isn’t “What’s the cheapest franchise?”

It’s:

Where will you earn the most?

We require one month’s notice. Just call, text, email or, if you wish, a letter explaining you wish to cease the Franchise agreement. All we ask, in return, is that any pupils given to you are honoured. We do have the right to contact the pupils given to you, and ask if they wish to have another Lawrence's Driving School Franchise. If you leave, we will calculate any monies owed to Lawrence's Driving School as pro rota from the date of payment to leaving date.

Lawrence's Driving School will supply you with as many pupils as possible, and we guarantee a minimum of 3 new pupils a month! Our marketing and promotional system is tried and tested and we will bring all our skills to bear in order to get you pupils to teach. If, in the unlikely event, we do not give you 3 new pupils a month, then we will reduce your franchise fee by 1/3 for every pupil we fail to supply. So no pupils = no fees for you to pay!

Please note: Our Fast Start Package is designed to fill your diary as soon as possible.

We will liaise with you and work out the best method of getting the headboard to you. We will either deliver it or send it via delivery company.

But upon leaving the school we would expect the instructor(s) to return the items at no expense to us.

You do not pay us anything until you have TWO PAYING PUPILS on board.

We require a £100 holding fee payment to cover the headboard. This is returned to you after you leave the franchise and return the headboard to us.

The uniform will consist of two polo t-shirt’s and a fleece embroidered with our logo. (More can be purchased by you at any time). 

Please note: You are required to wear EITHER/OR BOTH the Fleece or Polo Shirt on all lessons - this adds to the professional branding of the school.

We will provide a top box and this will have our branding.

Yes. We believe that it would beneficial to yourselves to use the headboard, as it looks professional and helps generate more business for you. The headboard forms part of our marketing strategy.

Also, we believe the headboard adds a safety feature as road users can see the headboard above obstructions such as parked cars.

We will deliver the headboard to all instructors, but upon the instructor(s) departure from Lawrence's Driving School, we would ask that the headboard is returned to us at no expense of the school. We will return the £100 holding deposit after the board is returned.

If you already have magnetic signage and a top box, then this will be fine, as you can remove these and put on Lawrence’s Driving School top box. If your car has been decal signed then we will have to be contacted to discuss how to remove the signage.
