Brightway Insurance Announces New Agency Ownership Franchise For $5,000 Franchise Fee With Free Second Unit

Leading insurance franchisor makes owning a franchise more affordable than ever

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 23, 2020 // PRNewswire // - Brightway Insurance, one of the largest Personal Lines insurance agencies in the U.S. and one of very few franchises that pays residual income, is making it easier than ever to open a franchise with the company and to build your own Brightway enterprise. Today, the company introduced a new path for those seeking a franchise ownership opportunity in the Brightway system, with a new option to join with a $5,000 franchise fee. And, for the $5,000 fee, the franchisee has the right to open their first two locations.

"Over the past few months, we took the opportunity to look closely at what we were offering and considered how we could make it easier for people who want to open a Brightway franchise," said Brightway President and CEO, Michael Miller. "We believe this new option with a lower franchise fee will open the door for many more people who wish to go into business for themselves."

Miller continued, "We are thrilled to be able to offer different franchise options, whether it is your goal to operate an Office Agency by yourself or to open five Retail Agencies in different states with large sales teams, we have something for everyone."

For those who wish to operate a Brightway Agency in a professional office space, they can join the company's Office Agency model in two ways. With the new $5,000 franchise fee option, a franchise owner would enjoy a commission split of 60% on New Business and 50% on Renewals. For those wishing to earn a higher commission rate on New Business, an Enhanced option is available for an additional $25,000 that will earn franchisees 80% on New Business.

In addition to the two levels of the Office Agency model in which franchisees can work from a professional office space, the company continues to offer their flagship Retail Agency franchise model that features the greatest benefits and revenue potential. The franchise fee for the Retail Agency model is $60,000, and franchisees earn up to 100% New Business commission and 55% commission on Renewals.

Regardless of which model the franchisee chooses, they can open their first two locations for the same franchise fee, and they can hire remote workers in their market to help them grow even faster.

"We want to make it as easy as possible for all of our franchisees to add Producers; each Producer an Agency Owner adds can help the owner build wealth faster," said Brightway Chief of Staff, Leslie Wright.
