Captives
Business Owners who effectively manage their risk and have low claims experience can build assets and long-term wealth in a captive that creates liquidity for the company and its owners.
Advantages:
-
Custom policies to cover only the insurance you need
-
Creating a profit center by retaining insurance to premium dollars and profits
-
Retaining profits that are paid through the captive for reinvestment or disbursement

Improve cash flow management and smooth out operating volatility
-
Tax benefits in the form of deductions from ordinary and necessary business expenses
Disadvantages:
-
Assume increased risk
-
Additional up-front expenses and capital investment
