Your premiums go up, even when you’ve done nothing wrong.
A claim comes in that takes you by surprise.
You give your business’ hard-earned dollars to an insurance company who doesn’t get what you do.
Now’s your chance to take control with captive insurance.
What is captive insurance?
A captive insurance company is a form of commercial insurance that’s established by members for the benefit of members.
In other words, it’s insurance that’s owned by you, for the benefit of you.
Premium predictability and stability, based on your results
With captive insurance, you get:
Transparency in the claims process, and a voice in the claims outcome
Leftover profits and underwriting costs returned to you, plus investment income
The two types of captive insurance
Single-Parent Captive
A single-parent captive is owned and controlled by a single company who can benefit from taking on their risk on their own. This approach works well for companies with higher premiums and larger exposures.
Group Captive
A group captive is an opportunity for different companies (not necessarily from the same industry) to pool resources and risk to keep costs down without affecting other premiums.
Our team will help you figure out which form of captive is right for your business.
