Captive Insurance
Captive insurance allows shareholders to
self-insure for certain future losses, whilst
improving their cash flow and managing the cost
of insurance rather than using third party
insurance providers.

Captive Insurance
Reasons for Forming a Captive

• To minimize costs by the elimination of a large
  percentage of traditional
• insurance company overhead.
• To retain the profits that would otherwise have
  to be paid to commercial.
• insurers in the form of premiums in excess of
  the amounts repaid to cover
• losses.
• To have freedom over investment into which the
  premiums of the captive may
• be made.
• To insure risks which would otherwise be
  uninsurable or cost prohibitive and
• to design custom policies.
• Access to the re-insurance market.
• The reduction of government regulations and
  restrictions by seeking out a
• favourable jurisdiction for the registration of
  the company.
• The reduction of taxes by domiciling the company
  in a low tax jurisdiction.
• cash flow planning as the captive has the use
  and benefit of the premiums.
• Timing of premium can be determined to suit the
  parent's cash flow
• requirements.
