What is captive Insurance

A captive insurance company is owned by the business which the captive issues the insurance policy to. It’s a form of self funding. Therefore, captive insurance offers the business tremendous control and security it can not receive from buying an insurance policy from a commercial insurance Co.

What is a captive?

A captive is generally defined as a licensed & regulated insurance company that is wholly owned and controlled by its insureds, i.e. the business or individual who buys a policy from the captive; its primary purpose is to insure the risks of its owners and its insureds benefit from the captive insurer’s underwriting profits

Is a captive right for me?

How much am I spending today buying each coverage line needed to run the business? A business spending as little as $250,000 is right on the cusp of being large enough to consider captive insurance. Ideally, businesses spending more than $500,000 are ideal.

Captive insurance is what we like to call a “Participation Sport”, meaning, the business must be more engaged in the daily management of their risks. If a business wants to “Hand Off” risk management to a commercial carrier, a captive is not the ideal tool.

What is your Risk Appetite? Although many inaccurately perceive captives as being extremely risky, stop gaps can be put into place making captive insurance no more risky than commercial insurance. The luxury of the captive allows the business to decide how much risk is comfortable to take on.

What are your long-term goals? Captive insurance is more of a decathlon than a sprint. Captives enable a business to use diversification and statistics to lower or flatten the cost curve traditionally associated with yearly insurance increases.
