Captive Insurance is a type of cover that allows you more control over your insurance policies. By creating your own insurance company, also known as a ‘captive’, you’ll be offered stability in a market constantly changed by natural disasters, pandemics, inflation and other global events.
When you rely on traditional insurance options, your insurer has complete authority over the type of coverage you receive, how much you need to pay, and whether your claims are valid or not.
Captive Insurance, on the other hand, lets you create your own insurance company, or 'captive,' which gives you more authority over the risks you insure. Captive entities are valid entities that are used by various organizations, such as private, publicly listed, and non-profit organisations, both in Australia and around the world.
It is important to note that Captive Insurance should not be considered a complete solution to risk management. Businesses must have the resources available to set up an insurance company to provide cover for potential losses.
Additionally, Captive Insurance has a high barrier to entry, and it is generally recommended for companies with exemplary loss histories (and continued lower loss expectations) that have a premium size of at least $1 million.
