Franchise Business Review has named Brightway Insurance to its list of 200 Best Franchises to Buy in 2020 for the sixth time. With more than 200 locations across the U.S. and franchise opportunities available for people both inside and outside of the insurance industry, Brightway is now one of the largest Personal Lines agencies in the U.S.

More than 307 franchise brands representing more than 27,500 franchise owners, including Brightway franchisees, participated in Franchise Business Review's research. The company's franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including training and support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations and financial opportunity.

"We're ecstatic to be recognized by Franchise Business Review as a top franchise opportunity," said Brightway President and CEO, Michael Miller. "We attribute our success to the financial alignment we have with our franchisees coupled with the comprehensive business support we provide to them. Simply put, when they're successful, we're successful, so we work hard every day to help them be the best in the business and reach their potential because it benefits everyone in the business."

Brightway's low-risk, high-reward business opportunities allow people from a wide variety of backgrounds to prosper. A centralized team of experts provide training and support in areas including Customer Service, Accounting, Marketing, Distribution, Business Analytics, Carrier Appointments, Licensing, Onboarding, Training, Hiring and Retaining personnel. The company's signature after-the-sale service empowers franchisees to focus on new business sales and provides their customers the personalized service they deserve.

"There are thousands of successful franchise companies operating in North America, but many of those companies do not offer a solid investment opportunity for the actual franchise owners," said Eric Stites, CEO of Franchise Business Review. "As an independent research firm, we rate the franchise companies in the marketplace today and identify those that have the highest levels of satisfaction and performance among their franchisees in order to help entrepreneurs choose which franchise to invest in. The companies on this year's list are the top performing brands in the areas critical to their franchisees' success."

Franchise Business Review, a franchise market research firm that performs independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only rankings and awards for franchise companies based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance.
