A unique alternative to traditional insurance.
Captive solutions.
Captives are surely not for every company or business owner. Yet, for those companies that feel they are ready to take control of their own destiny, captives offer a unique, viable and time-tested way to do so.
Harmon Dennis Bradshaw brings a unique level of experience and expertise to their customers when it comes to captive alternatives. This specialization allows our clients to enjoy yearly expense reductions and operational improvements that reflect their commitment to long-term success.
In traditional commercial insurance, a client pays premiums to an insurance carrier who then bears risk for premiums paid. With an alternative risk scenario, such as a captive or risk retention group, a client pays a similar premium but also has the opportunity “earn back” those premiums with investment income—if they have good loss experience. This offers the client stability associated with long-term cost of risk. The clients we’ve placed in captives are some of our happiest as they’ve seen firsthand how financially beneficial they can be.
Captives & risk retention groups work favorably in certain industries, and our experienced team can help you determine whether Alternative Risk is the best approach for your organization.
