Your Best Successor May Not Be Able to Afford Your Agency. One of the biggest succession problems in insurance today is not operational. It’s financial. In many agencies, the right successor is already in the building. The senior producer knows the clients, the carriers, and the culture. But current agency valuations have moved beyond what most internal buyers can realistically finance on their own. That is where management buyout structures are becoming more important. The goal is not just liquidity. It is continuity. The right structure can allow the owner to receive fair value while giving the next generation a realistic path to ownership without disrupting the business, team, or client relationships. Read more for a deeper breakdown of how these structures work in practice and where most internal succession plans break down. https://lnkd.in/e_dszMTM

Most agency owners are capable of doing more acquisitions than they think. What usually slows things down is not ambition. It is uncertainty around capital, structure, and process. Jim Pihl had never done a transaction of this size before. With support from Brightway’s M&A, legal, and financing teams, he was able to complete an acquisition that accelerated the growth of his agency in a matter of months. Worth a listen for owners thinking about growth through acquisition. If you are considering an acquisition and want to better understand what the process could look like, let's have a conversation: https://lnkd.in/e5keUkHh Check out the article for more on the transaction: https://lnkd.in/ekY_myjB

Exciting to see the momentum building across the Brightway network. From South Jersey to Texas, our agency owners continue to prove what’s possible with the right combination of local relationships, innovation, and support behind them. We’re proud of the way our agencies are leveraging tools like Fusion to better serve customers, strengthen communities, and grow faster than anywhere else. Congratulations to all of the teams recognized during this trip, including our 2025 New Agency of the Year. 👏 #BrightwayInsurance
Just wrapped up a two-day tour visiting some of Brightway Insurance's exceptional agencies. In South Jersey on Monday, it was fantastic to see our newly integrated GlobalGreen agencies already thriving within the Brightway network. The momentum continued in Texas on Tuesday, where I spent time with some of our fastest-growing agencies, capped off by a celebratory dinner with our 2025 New Agency of the Year. The passion our agency partners demonstrate for their local communities and their customers is inspiring. A recurring highlight of the trip was seeing our producers utilize the Fusion platform to better serve their expanding customer base. As insurance becomes increasingly complex, I am immensely proud of how our agents help clients protect their most valuable assets with confidence - while growing their business faster here than they could anywhere else. #brightway
