The Power of WE! The need for insurance continues to grow and We Insure Group, Inc. thrives.

August 24, 2021

Growth has been slowing for most businesses due to the challenges of the recent pandemic. Many suffer from rising costs, tightening employment pool, and supply constraints. As more businesses ramp back up, We Insure franchisees are realizing the potential of this ever-growing industry called insurance. Whether it’s attracting traditional insurance agents or investors of ancillary businesses, this independent insurance franchise proves itself to be an excellent opportunity for entrepreneurs of all backgrounds.

We Insure was founded in 2009 by Philip Visali, a former insurance agent for a well-established single carrier. It was in 2010 when We Insure began offering franchising in the quest to match entrepreneurs with the best possible franchise opportunities. Created with the purpose of offering choice and convenience to customers, the model also gives entrepreneurs a turn-key business, offering unmatched carrier access and complete operational, IT, customer service and marketing support.

Years ago, insurance agencies were limited to selling their own proprietary products and lacked the freedom to shop around for their clients. Now, the importance of customization and choice has taken center stage and We Insure’s franchisees are enjoying the spotlight. Finally, there is an insurance model with the full back-end support to give insurance agents the opportunity to better serve their customers. “Insurance has become a society of choice, speed, and savings,” says CEO and Founder, Philip Visali. “I believe We Insure meets those needs better than anybody else.”

Today the Jacksonville, FL based company has become an unstoppable force in the franchising industry. With more than 200 agencies across the U.S., the brand has grown into the most trusted and respected insurance franchise offering in North America. Recently launching a national expansion plan, We Insure is experiencing high demand from various entrepreneurs for its unique business model. Growing over 55% in 2020 and doubling the growth in 2021, the franchise model is attracting entrepreneurs from various backgrounds.

Ancillary owners from real estate, title, mortgage brokers, and financial investors, are just a few of those getting involved. The missing piece to the puzzle is finally available to these entrepreneurs seeking to capture business already flowing through their system. This recession resistant industry of insurance helps these savvy business owners add an ancillary business for long-term planning and increases value for their customers by establishing a one-stop shop.

Insurance has proven to be a recession resistant industry, having grown during the recent pandemic while most businesses closed or incredibly declined. This lucrative business is part of a $700 billion industry fueled by the population as a necessity especially for homeowners, business owners and auto owners. To put this into perspective, the population is growing and complementary the industry is experiencing the highest industry growth, up $4 billion from 2020 to 2021[1].
