Description

With the commercial insurance market hardening and uncertainty surrounding insurance capacity after Covid-19, many organizations are asking whether a captive could be an option to consider. In this webinar we look at several key questions that need to be answered before committing to a full feasibility study. These questions include:

• Am I big enough to support my own captive?
• Is my loss experience good enough?
• Do I have sufficient risk distribution to qualify as an insurance company for tax purposes?
• How much capital do I need?
• Will I still need commercial insurance to support the captive?
• If a single parent captive isn’t viable, what other captive options are there?

This webinar is suitable for anyone in the early stages of considering forming a captive insurance company as well as insurance brokers and service providers advising on captives as an alternative to traditional insurance programs.
