Why Should My Business Join a Group Captive?

As a business owner, it is inevitable that you will have to buy insurance. And in many instances, businesses will end up paying premiums that outpace the real cost of their claims. This is because with traditional insurance you end up subsidizing other people's claims. Meaning that even if your claims are minimal, you will still end up paying higher prices. For many business owners, this seems unfair and can be a cause of stress.

Fortunately, there is an alternative to the traditional insurance route. This is called Group Captive insurance. Group Captive Insurance can help you cut down insurance costs and decrease the amount of risk within your business.


What is a Group Captive?

Group Captives are groups of businesses that come together to create their own insurance agencies to manage risk and reduce costs. Businesses and Group Captives will usually have low claims which means their premiums are much lower than other businesses that practice poor safety and have high claims. In simple terms, it is basically an insurance agency owned by its members that provides its members with benefits.

If all this sounds appealing to you, keep reading to learn more reasons why your business should join a Group Captive.
