Inszone Insurance Services has expanded its agency network through the acquisition of Sommelier Insurance Group, an Omaha-based insurance firm known for its expertise in commercial coverage. The transaction enhances Inszone’s capabilities in several specialized industries while strengthening its presence in the Midwest.
Founded in 2020 by Luper Akough, Sommelier Insurance Group built its reputation by serving businesses in sectors such as trucking, home healthcare, and contracting. The agency has developed a niche focus on complex commercial insurance needs and established strong relationships within its local market.
By joining Inszone, Sommelier Insurance Group will gain access to a broader carrier network, expanded operational resources, and additional support services designed to help agencies scale while continuing to serve clients locally. The transaction is expected to provide customers with greater market access and a wider range of insurance solutions.
Akough said the partnership was driven by a desire to bring additional resources and opportunities to clients while preserving the agency’s commitment to specialized service. The move allows Sommelier Insurance Group to expand its offerings while maintaining the expertise that has fueled its growth.
Inszone CEO Chris Walters noted that Sommelier’s focus on trucking, home healthcare, and contractor insurance aligns well with the company’s long-term commercial growth strategy. He added that the acquisition brings valuable expertise to the organization and creates new opportunities for continued expansion.
