HOW A CAPTIVE WORKS
Simply put, a captive is a unique insurance company set up by its business owners to insure its own specific company’s risks. Captives are an effective way to take financial control of insurance allocations, manage risks and accumulate wealth. Captives should be used as a supplement to existing commercial coverages—and underwrite unobtainable coverages. A captive is a holistic approach to forming the company’s risk management strategy.
​
With a traditional insurance company, the insurer and its shareholders collect the premium and retain the profits. A business owned insurance captive's has the unique ability to manage, assign and script specific risks. A captive with little or no claims, builds up equity within the captive for future use by to reduce future premiums or distribute back to the company.
