Captive Insurance

Program

Think differently about your insurance.

OWN IT

A group captive offers an opportunity to own your insurance and turn one of your largest business expenses into a long-term investment strategy.

When comparing captive insurance to traditional insurance, you can easily see the long-term benefits and opportunity that come with captive ownership. Protecting your employees, assets, and liabilities is also about protecting your bottom line. You take safety seriously. Why continue to roll the dice in the traditional market with companies who lack a safety focus and have a negative impact on your rates.

Why Group Captive?

Among the many advantages of a group captive, we focus on three main benefits:

Stability

Members are insulated from market swings, keeping premiums consistent and stable. By partnering with only best-in-class companies, our members are part of a cleaner pool. This allows for more credibility and a greater spread of risk.

Control

Control premium costs and improve risk management. By partnering with other captive members, you are joining a community for sharing best practices. Captive members are involved in the claim process, allowing greater transparency and communication.

Profitability

With the opportunity to retain 60% of your annual premium*, your insurance strategy acts as a money maker. The long-term benefits of joining a captive provide members with money in their pockets and an improvement in workplace culture with a focus on safety.

COMPANIES

A member-owned group captive is made up of various like-minded businesses that come together to form their own insurance company. But it isn’t right for all businesses. Captives are best suited for companies that share these traits.

My company pays $250,000 or more in Worker’s Compensation, General Liability, and Auto premiums (combined).

My company has an entrepreneurial spirit.

My compnay desires more control and stability.

My company understands “risk for reward”.

My company is committed to safety.

“The companies in the captive are like minded regarding safety and we are able to learn best practices from other members.”

Why TIS + ICS?

TIS partners with Innovative Captive Strategies (ICS), a top 10 captive insurance manager, to offer a captive insurance program. Founded in 1999, ICS has built a reputation for … DON’T LIKE THIS INTRO, NEED BETTER

A Learning Organization

As a captive member, you will become a part of a community of like-minded, successful companies. Through semi-annual workshops, members gather together to collaborate and share industry best-practices, generate new ideas, determine loss control standards, and grow their professional networks.

Unbundled Claims Process

Traditionally, reinsurance, claims, and loss control are bundled together. ICS works with a 3rd party claims service provider to isolate this element and give the member control and influence on how a claim is settled.

Broker Shared Risk

ICS requires our broker partners to take risk with our clients. This ensures we “put our money where our mouth is” and have vested interest in helping you be successful. Through transparency and consistent engagement, ICS and our agency partners maintain a mutual approach when it comes to managing the risk of our clients.

Swim in a "Cleaner Pool"

ICS creates captives by using a dedicated distribution model. That means the captives have fewer, more highly vetted members and those members have greater engagement and more control. Many captive companies will continue to add members to a captive in an open-access system, diluting the captive and not helping anyone but the captive manager. At ICS, the goal is to create a “cleaner pool” of best-in-class companies to benefit the captive members.
