Brightway’s model has been proven over more than fifteen years. Every agency operates on a turnkey platform that handles the back-office operations — so owners can focus on growth, not paperwork. The foundation of why Brightway has become such a strong franchise opportunity is the industry itself. Insurance is one of the most stable and essential sectors in the U.S. economy — a $1.4 trillion market that continues to grow year after year. Insurance is required by law, follows a recurring revenue model and has minimal economic sensitivity.
Brightway invented the “you sell, we service” model—now, we're innovating again with the first performance-based insurance franchise model. Our franchisees benefit from a turnkey platform, proven systems, and an unmatched support structure that allows you to focus on growth, not paperwork.
At Brightway, everything we build is designed to help you grow faster. Our model centers around empowering local, independent agents to become trusted experts in their communities, backed by a national brand and powerful infrastructure.
Brightway provides enterprise-level support that you rarely find in franchising. We can help with recruiting producers and training them if the owner’s goal is to build a large team. Every agency also has access to our Fusion technology platform, which automates quoting and servicing. In short, owners focus on relationships and production — Brightway takes care of everything else.
Fusion is Brightway’s all-in-one CRM and sales platform. Designed with input from over 100 agency owners, it simplifies workflows and enhances productivity. Features include real-time prefill quoting, pipeline management, cross-sell automation, and smart service triggers. The result: opportunity-to-bind and quote-to-bind times reduced by more than 50% for most users.
The Brightway Engagement Center is more than a call center—it’s a strategic retention engine. Staffed by licensed advisors, it manages inbound service calls, carrier follow-ups, policy changes, and renewals. Clients also have access to myBrightway, an online portal with live chat, policy status, and payment details, offering multiple channels of support to match client preferences.
