What Is Captive Insurance?

Captive insurance is a form of self-insurance where a business creates its own insurance company to cover specific risks. It allows you to:


  • Insure risks traditionally considered too expensive or unavailable
  • Retain underwriting profits and investment income
  • Gain more control over claims, coverage terms, and costs
  • Improve cash flow and risk transparency


Captives are typically used by mid-sized to large companies—but they’re not just for Fortune 500s anymore.

Is Captive Insurance Right for You?

It might be—if your business:


  • Pays $100,000+ annually in commercial premiums
  • Has a strong risk management program
  • Wants to reduce reliance on commercial markets
  • Needs customized or specialty coverage
  • Operates across multiple locations or industries


We work with business owners, CFOs, and risk managers to evaluate feasibility and connect you with vetted captive administrators and advisors.
