Vipul Hapani of Brightway Insurance opens a new Agency in Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — While the country’s response to the Coronavirus has caused many business operations to pause, Brightway Insurance remains committed to consumers and to people who want to build their own business with the holistic support Brightway offers. More residents in North Carolina and South Carolina can experience a better way to buy insurance for their homes, vehicles and much more as Vipul Hapani has opened Brightway, The Ballantyne Agency in Charlotte. While Hapani is currently working from home, he will open an office in the coming months, and the location will be announced once operational.

“I’ve co-owned and operated a Brightway Agency in Michigan for more than two years, so when my wife and I decided to move our family to the Charlotte area, it just made sense to expand and open an Agency here so that we can provide our new friends and neighbors the same level of expert counsel our customers in Michigan have come to expect from us,” said Hapani, who is licensed to sell insurance in North Carolina, South Carolina and Michigan. “As a Brightway Agency, we offer a broad selection of insurance brands and do the shopping for you to ensure you get the coverage you need for your home, vehicles and much more at the price you want.”

Hapani and his business partner opened Brightway, The Blue Water Agency, located in Shelby Township, Michigan, more than two years ago. Hapani earned a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology from the University of Buffalo in Buffalo, New York. He speaks fluent English, Punjabi and Hindi. As a Brightway Agency Owner, he looks forward to offering more choice in insurance brands and making shopping for insurance easy for consumers in and around Charlotte.

“We’re ecstatic to partner once again with Vipul to expand the brand in Charlotte and are committed to his success,” said Brightway President and CEO, Michael Miller. “We have hundreds of insurance professionals dedicated to providing him with comprehensive business support that allows him to focus on his customers’ needs and finding the right package of policies to protect their financial futures.”
