What our franchisees have to say...

"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."

"I had been reading Brightway’s marketing materials for years while working as a producer at a captive agency.
