Benefits Brightway offers:

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.

I joined Brightway because of the support of the system. They’ve got this figured out. When you leverage the system, it works. I know because I joined seven years ago with no prior insurance experience and have grown to be the third largest agency in the system today.

Mike Hatmaker Brightway, Largo

Brightway delivers the support that allowed me to move to a new community and start an insurance agency from scratch. Once open, I spent my time networking and relationship building with professional referral sources in the greater Charlotte business community, a luxury unavailable at my previous agency.

Dimitri Apostle Brightway, The Dimitri J. Apostle Agency

After hearing David and Michael Miller tell the Brightway story, I couldn’t pass up the chance to join a company on the rise. The BrightwayBridgeSM program allowed me to set up my own agency with lower overhead, and I still get to provide my customers with all the benefits of the Brightway system.

Tim Worthy Kennesaw, Georgia

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.
