Captive insurance is a smart, alternative way for businesses to take control of their insurance costs by forming their own licensed insurance company. Instead of paying high premiums to traditional insurers, who also profit from unused funds, businesses can “self-insure” through a captive. This means more flexibility, greater risk control, and significant savings. Captive insurance is ideal for companies ready to level up their risk management strategy and unlock long-term financial advantages.
A single-parent captive is owned and operated by one company. This setup gives total control over underwriting, claims, and policy design. With annual premiums of $750,000 or more, this model helps businesses create tailored plans while significantly lowering costs.
Group captives are designed for companies that don’t meet the premium threshold for a single-parent captive. Instead, they join a pre-established group structure. Group captives offer shared resources, collective buying power, and access to captive benefits without starting from scratch.
Captive insurance plans are flexible and wide-ranging. They can cover everything from workers’ compensation and general liability to cyber risk. With Forza Capital Advisors, your policy uses the same language and limits as your current coverage, just smarter and more cost-effective.
