Joining an Association Captive

Should you consider an Association Captive as an alternative to your present insurance situation? This page will help get you started in your evaluation process.

Following is a list of questions to consider before forming or joining an Association Captive:

  1. How many other members or companies are interested?

  2. What lines of insurance would be written through the captive?

  3. How do you and the other members feel about pooling of risks -- that is, sharing the cost of losses with other members, some of whom may be competitors? (Note: It is sometimes possible for a captive to be formed such that each member is responsible for all or most of its own losses.)

  4. Are you and the other members willing to make a long term commitment, say for at least five years?

  5. Are you and the other members willing to make a financial commitment in order to capitalize the captive?

  6. Are you and the other members willing to make a commitment to loss control?

  7. Will the captive be able to provide you with coverages that you cannot obtain at a reasonable price in the traditional market?
