Insurance Agency Ownership

Start Your Own Independent Insurance Agency:

Enjoy the Support of a Nationally-Recognized Brand

Brooke Franchise Corporation supports insurance agency ownership through franchising. Brooke offers support in starting up a new agency, buying an agency or transitioning an agency into a Brooke Insurance franchise. We franchise because we believe that local ownership is required for efficient distribution of insurance and financial services. Success by local business owners requires the discipline, support and resources that a franchise organization like Brooke Franchise Corporation provides. As the corporate name indicates, franchising is the foundation of Brooke and it now has over 550 franchises with locations in 29 states.

Why Choose Brooke?

Brooke Franchise Corporation believes that small locally owned insurance agencies generally distribute insurance more efficiently than large insurance brokers when supported by an established franchisor. This is how we "level the playing field" for our franchisees. We offer support services for multiple types of insurance: General, Auto and Business Insurance. Regardless of your insurance specialty, you will be backed by industry leading services and financial support. As the 32nd largest broker of U.S. insurance business (Business Insurance, July 2005), Brooke has the purchasing power to provide franchisees with more markets and competitive pricing. We believe that our approach will change the landscape for distribution of these services.
