Brightway Insurance provides its franchisees with a structured set of training programs, ensuring both the Franchisee and their staff are properly equipped to operate effectively. Here’s a clear explanation of the training programs:
Brightway Insurance does not offer exclusive territory protection to its franchisees. The franchise agreement clearly states that franchisees may face competition from other Brightway franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other channels of distribution under Brightway’s control.
Additionally, there are no restrictions on where in the state other franchisees may solicit customers, and approval is needed to operate outside the designated state. Franchisees are not compensated if other franchisees or Brightway itself solicits customers within their geographic area.
While there is flexibility for agency owners in border counties to serve neighboring states, this is subject to Brightway’s approval and operational standards. Overall, the franchise model is built with open competition in mind, and franchisees should be prepared for this competitive environment.
