About Mid-America
We’ve got a story to tell.
Mid-America Specialty Markets is an independent insurance agency providing commercial and personal insurance products to clients throughout Missouri, Kansas, and surrounding areas.
About Mid-America
We are committed to developing professional relationships with our clients by providing insurance products and services suited to their specific needs. Our locations across Missouri and Kansas bring those resources to clients through agency staff members, local agents, and offices in their communities.
Our business began in 1992 in Columbia, Missouri, with a focus on working with business owners. We continue to provide a broad range of business insurance products while also serving the personal insurance needs of individuals and families.
Why we chose to be independent
Unlike a captive or direct insurance company that offers its own proprietary products, our agency is independent of any one insurance company. That allows our team to work with multiple insurance companies, products, and underwriting guidelines.
Insurance needs are not all alike. Contractors, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, service operations, families, and individuals share some common concerns, but each also has needs that require individual attention.
We believe an insurance professional’s value comes from industry knowledge, education, and the ability to provide responsive service as clients’ circumstances change.
Leadership message
A responsible corporate citizen
As a company, we believe in being a responsible corporate citizen. The decisions we make are motivated by providing access to quality insurance products that can meet the needs of current and future clients.
Our staff members bring the company’s core values to life each day. We appreciate the trust our clients place in Mid-America Specialty Markets.
