Captive Insurance for Construction
Joining a captive insurance group is an alternative way for construction companies to manage risk—offering control, consistency, and a way to stabilize your cost of risk over time.
What is a Captive?
Captives are licensed insurance companies owned by a group of affiliated businesses that pool together to insure the risks of its members. Construction companies may want to consider captive insurance to gain protection from hardening in the market, added long-term stability, and more oversight over the various facets of insurance, including more autonomy in claims management.
Woodruff Sawyer’s Captive experts will guide you through an unbiased process to determine whether you’re a good candidate for a captive. Learn more about how we can help you with captives.
