Branson Insurance Brokers

For almost half a century, our dedicated team in Branson has been addressing the insurance needs of families and businesses throughout the Ozarks. This journey has brought us face-to-face with the dynamic nature of the insurance landscape and the ever-changing needs of our community.

That’s why our approach to insurance is rooted in adaptability and a keen sensitivity to the shifting demands of our clients. The Branson team at Higginbotham is continually refining our strategies to align with current market conditions, helping us to remain a steadfast partner to our clients for the long term.

But our role goes beyond mere business transactions. We are deeply invested in our client relationships, focusing on providing sound advice, quality products and excellent customer service, rather than just processing policies or offering quotes.

Our Missouri presence was solidified in 2022 when Connell Insurance, Inc. became part of the Higginbotham family. This expansion has broadened our access to a variety of value-added services, including loss control, financial services and a dedicated claims advocacy center.
