Earning potential
Few businesses are as recession-proof as the insurance industry. As an independent agent, you'll have access to a steady stream of income—no matter what's happening in the economy. Not only will you earn commission on every new policy you write—you'll earn additional commission each time the policy renews.
Business services and support
Brightway delivers Business Planning, Accounting, Marketing, Operations, Training and other functions critical to starting and succeeding as an Agency Owner. We take care of the time-consuming tasks and free you to focus on sales and relationship-building.
Choice
When you open a Brightway franchise, you'll gain access to the top insurance companies in your market. You will not be limited to one insurance provider like captive agents. You have the option to start a small office or open—or grow into—a larger office. When the time comes to retire, you also have choices on how to exit your business.
Sensible cost of ownership
Brightway Insurance offers one of the most affordable franchise models available—in any industry. With franchise fees as low as $10,000, your new business can be up and running with an investment of less than $25,000. Backed by our support, you can quickly recoup you investment with new and recurring sales.

What our partners have to say...
Maegan Lunte
"Being a Brightway Agency Owner allows me to fulfill all my career ambitions without limitations. In return, the success I have provides directly for my family and community. It is incredible to bring 15 years of industry experience to making sure my community is adequately protected. For me, it is not just about making a lifestyle for my family, but for bettering my community. I finally feel a sense of purpose with my career."

Ben Rodriguez
"Louisiana was a brand-new state for Brightway and when I opened my doors, I had access to more than a dozen insurance companies. Where I came from, I had access to exactly one company. Combining my expertise with a wide variety of insurance markets makes my offering invaluable to my customers."

Sam Kassar
"The number of carriers that Brightway works with was simply much better than what was offered by other companies. As a former captive agent for a national carrier, I know how important is to have choices when it comes to finding the right coverage for my customers."
