About Captive Insurance
A captive insurance company (“captive”) is a real insurance company created by a business or its owners to primarily provide property and casualty insurance to affiliated businesses. Because captives are usually owned by the same economic interests that own the operating business, the captive can be considered a “formal” method of self-insuring various risks. Captives have existed for at least 70 years and have commonly been used by large businesses for decades. Because the cost and regulatory burden of operating a captive have declined considerably in recent years, many smaller businesses can now benefit from them as well.
Captives must be licensed by the state in which they operate or another appropriate jurisdiction.
Typically captives are employed to do one or more of the following:
● Insure risks that are presently insured via third party arrangement. By replacing insurance currently purchased from third parties with insurance purchased from your own insurance company, your captive can potentially realize profits currently captured by the big insurance carriers.
● Formally insuring risks presently self-insured via after-tax reserves. Most small businesses purchase third-party insurance to protect against only a small portion of the potential risks to which they are exposed, including those that are underinsured commercially. Most risks remain informally-self insured, (i.e. uninsured) because the cost of obtaining third-party insurance is simply too high given the business owner’s assessment of the likelihood of loss.
● Gain access to reinsurance markets. Ownership in a captive gives you access to reinsurance and excess insurance markets that aren’t available to the general public.
● Balancing coverage. Captives allow business owners the ability to actively manage their risks by balancing their commercial and self-insured exposures, and deciding which risks they’re willing to assume, and which ones they’d prefer to transfer over to a third-party carrier or reinsurance company.
