"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."

"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."

"For me, the Brightway business model has two very important keys: access to a wide range of carriers that allow us to meet our clients’ needs, and a service center that lets agencies focus on continually growing new business."

"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."

FAQs

For our Office Agency model, there is no hiring requirement. Our Retail Agency model requires a minimum staff of three.

We estimate that it will take approximately 60-120 days from the date you sign your Franchise Agreement to open your Brightway Location.

Office Agency franchise owners who have paid their franchise fee in full may convert to our Retail Agency model by paying a fee of $20,000 or you may choose to finance the fee through Brightway. All franchise owners must meet our then current operational and performance criteria to convert to a different model. Your Brightway Franchise Consultant will go over more details on our financing options with you.
