Goosehead Insurance offers franchises for insurance agencies with a unique revenue-sharing model. The franchise requires $66k-$108k initial investment and charges 20% royalty on new business, 50% on renewals. Notable concerns include high unit closure rates (220 closed vs 97 opened in 2024), no protected territory, and complex operational requirements. The system has contracted from 1,424 units in 2022 to 1,115 in 2024. Financial performance data shows wide variance with median producer revenue of $86k but top quartile at $240k. The model allows for semi-absentee ownership with qualified managers.
