About Us

Founded in 1971, Arnold Insurance was built on a foundation of integrity, service, and community, inspired by our founder, Chap Arnold. Chap believed in honest advice, prioritizing people, and always doing the right thing—principles that remain central to everything we do today. What began as a small-town agency in Missouri has grown into a trusted name with additional offices in Missouri, Colorado, Arizona, Louisiana, and Florida. While our reach has expanded, our core mission remains unchanged : to provide exceptional insurance solutions with a focus on relationships, not transactions.

We proudly serve clients of all kinds, from individuals and families to businesses in diverse industries. Whether you need personal insurance to protect your home and car or commercial insurance to safeguard your business, we are committed to delivering solutions tailored to your needs. With a strong presence in multiple states and clients nationwide, we combine local expertise with the resources of a national network, offering the best of both worlds.
