If the company is a candidate for a captive solution, we provide a contract that includes a fee structure for a customized Evaluation & Analysis Report. This outlines the structure and domiciles we believe best align with your long-term goals as well as a feasibility report. Once approved and a contract is completed, we begin the formation process. We then help with on-going captive management tasks to ensure the utmost success for your captive. Find out more here.
A: Where a captive insurance company will be domiciled is determined once we know the goals of your captive. We work with you to find a suitable actuary to conduct a feasibility study. This will address issues such as available capital, the need for flexible investment of the captive's assets and the lines of insurance to be written.
We help companies spend their insurance dollars more wisely so that they are better positioned to achieve their financial goals. We do this by first learning what their company’s financial goals are, as well as current insurance coverage, risk management strategies and claim history. Then we determine whether forming a captive insurance company for the organization will help improve cash flow and control expenses.
