Forming a captive can offer several benefits, including:

Regulatory requirements vary depending on the domicile (location) of the captive. It generally involves meeting capital and reserve requirements, obtaining licenses, and adhering to reporting standards. Our team can help navigate these regulations.
The process of setting up a captive can vary but typically takes several months. This includes feasibility studies, regulatory approval, and operational setup. Our experienced team can streamline this process for you.
Ongoing management responsibilities include:
Owning a captive involves financial risk, as the captive is responsible for paying claims. There are also operational risks, including regulatory compliance and management of the captive’s financial health. Our team provides ongoing support to mitigate these risks.
A captive generates profit by retaining underwriting profits and investment income that would otherwise go to a traditional insurer. Effective risk management and loss prevention strategies can enhance profitability.
