Brightway Insurance is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and the company has succeeded beyond even its founders’ expectations.

When brothers David and Michael Miller founded the company, they hoped to grow it into a $10 million business in 10 years. Today, Brightway Insurance has $541 million in annualized written premium.

“When David and I started Brightway, we built a business based on our values, which include producing winning outcomes for all stakeholders,” said Michael Miller, co-founder and chair of Brightway. “As a result, we’ve created a company that, in 10 short years, has grown to be one of the largest personal lines insurance agencies in the country.”

Brightway’s achievements since 2008 include:

  • Thirty-eight franchised locations in one state in 2008 to 170 locations in 20 states today
  • $36 million in annualized written premium in 2008 to $541 million today
  • 155 people in the Brightway system in 2008 to 842 today

“Coming on in October 10 years ago, two short months after the opening of Brightway, I have become successful in my career and obtaining financial freedom for myself and family,” said Charlene Rodriguez, a Brightway franchisee in Lakeland, Fla. “I have been given the ability to offer this to others to succeed as well, and have very loyal clients who trust me as their agent.”

“Being a Brightway agency owner allows me to fulfill all my career ambitions without limitations,” said Maegan Lunte, a franchisee in Wylie, Texas. “In return, the success I have provides directly for my family and community.”
