Entrepreneur magazine named Brightway Insurance to its list of the top franchises you can start for less than $150,000. The national property/casualty insurance distribution company is the only insurance franchise to make the list, ranking #21 out of the 100 companies on the list.

"We're thrilled to be recognized, once again, as a top franchise by Entrepreneur," said Brightway CEO, Michael Miller, who co-founded Brightway with his brother, David, in 2008. "Since reporting our information to Entrepreneur last year that landed us on their lists, we've introduced a new, even lower cost way to become a Franchise Owner with Brightway. Our new pathways to franchise ownership are opening doors to people who previously would not have had the capital to own their own Brightway franchise. In short, we want to see more people realize their dreams of business ownership through Brightway."

Entrepreneur culled the list of Top 100 Franchises for Less Than $150,000 from its Franchise 500® list and ranked the companies you can start for less than $150,000 according to the scores they received. See Brightway's profile on Entrepreneur.com.
