Wait . . . What on Earth is Captive Insurance?

A captive insurance company is a wholly owned subsidiary created to provide insurance to its non-insurance parent company or companies. It usually relies on its service providers, like captive managers, lawyers, accountants and financial investors, to help establish and operate the captive. Captives are regulated by specific states called domiciles.
