Goosehead Insurance, Inc. operates as an independent personal lines insurance agency in the United States. Headquartered in Westlake, Texas, the company distributes homeowners, auto, and other property and casualty insurance products through a hybrid distribution model combining corporate agents, franchise agents, and digital channels. Goosehead partners with multiple insurance carriers to offer clients comparative quotes and coverage options, rather than representing a single insurer. The company operates across all 50 states through approximately 2,500 operating franchises and a network of corporate agents, serving both individual consumers and small businesses. As of recent reports, Goosehead generates annual revenue exceeding $300 million and employs over 1,200 people. The company went public in 2018 and has pursued aggressive expansion primarily through its franchise model, which provides lower capital requirements while enabling rapid geographic growth. Goosehead differentiates itself through proprietary technology platforms that streamline the quote comparison process and enhance agent productivity. Recent strategic initiatives include investments in digital capabilities, expansion of commercial lines offerings, and enhanced agent recruiting and training programs. The company's asset-light business model focuses on generating revenue through commissions and fees rather than underwriting insurance risk directly, positioning it as a technology-enabled distribution platform within the fragmented personal lines insurance market.
