May 12, 2026 10:08 AM

SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Inszone Insurance Services, a rapidly growing national provider of commercial, personal, and benefits insurance, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Smith & Company Insurance, Inc. This strategic acquisition brings an agency with roots dating back to 1904 into the Inszone organization, continuing to strengthen its robust footprint across the state of Arkansas.

With its earliest documentation tracing back over a century to 1904, Smith & Company Insurance has a long and storied history of serving its local communities. The Smith family officially purchased the agency in 1971, building it into a trusted local institution. Today, the agency is co-owned by Mark Smith, Drew Higginbothom, and William Smith who have expanded the business while maintaining a steadfast commitment to hometown service.

Over the years, Smith & Company Insurance developed a highly successful aviation division and is deeply entrenched in the commercial agriculture space, alongside writing policies for multiple banks throughout the region.

“As we looked toward the future, we knew we needed additional resources and assistance to continue to grow and remain relevant in our marketplace,” said the co-owners of Smith & Company Insurance. “We spoke with several other suitors, but Inszone was the perfect fit for us. They truly care about hometown local business and treat their employees exceptionally well.”

“Smith & Company Insurance brings a remarkable legacy and highly specialized industry knowledge to our team,” said Chris Walters, CEO of Inszone Insurance Services. “Mark, Drew, William, and their entire staff have built an incredible reputation in Arkansas. We are thrilled to welcome them to Inszone and provide the expanded national resources they need to continue their outstanding work for their clients.”
