Higher Revenue as you sell more

Brightway's access to more insurance carriers as well as our comprehensive support system allows you to focus on selling new business and growing your agency. All the while continuing to earn residual income on renewing business.

Lower operating costs

We use our buying power to negotiate deep discounts on everything from furniture to IT, then we pass 100% of those savings on to our Agency Owners. We never profit at the expense of our Agency Owners; this is what it means to be fully aligned.

Higher Profit

As you combine revenue from greater sales and industry leading retention with lower operating costs, you'll enjoy higher profits. Brightway agents simply earn more.

Our reputation says it all.

My main job as an Agency Owner is to protect my clients’ most important assets. Being partnered with Brightway provides me with the tools and the carriers to be able to do just that. This opportunity also allows me to provide opportunities for my employees as well that they may not get elsewhere. Plus, it allows me to build the type of future I want for myself and my family

Kandie Landers Brightway, The Landers Agency

Coming on in October 10 years ago, two short months after the opening of Brightway, I have become successful in my career and obtaining financial freedom for myself and family. I have been given the ability to offer this to others to succeed as well and have very loyal clients who trust me as their agent.

Charlene Rodriguez Brightway, The Charlene Rodriguez Agency

Brightway, for me, has been a dream come true. I have a new energy in my step as I go to the office each day. For my team and I, the sky is the limit.

Michele Robicheaux Brightway, The Michele Robicheaux Agency

I joined Brightway nine years ago and, through hard work and great process and organization, grew a very large agency that grows on customer referrals. I love helping people—so much so that I recently acquired a second Brightway agency. Owning your own business is the American dream. Brightway can help make it a reality.
