Misc./Summary
Information

Taft can help your company…..

We can help your company or association develop a captive insurance company business plan, choose a captive domicile, navigate you through the captive formation process, manage your captive insurance company, Risk Retention Group (RRG), small captive insurance company, or other Alternative Risk Transfer (ART) vehicle and as a Bermuda broker, place its reinsurance needs.

Organizations that now have a captive insurance company, regardless of its domicile, may question whether they are maximizing its financial leverage or risk-taking capabilities, or is it registered or operating in the right domicile. These are key questions and important points for making your captive a valuable financial asset of your company or association.

We stand ready to assist in any of these areas and look forward to providing answers to your questions.
