Business Plan
A detailed plan describing lines of business, underwriting strategy, projected premiums and losses, risk mitigation, and a multi-year financial forecast supporting the captive's sustainability.
A well-prepared Captive Insurance Application establishes the legal and financial basis for a captive insurer, demonstrates regulatory fitness, and supports favorable review. Accurate submissions reduce licensing delays, clarify governance arrangements, and help secure appropriate reinsurance and solvency determinations.
Organizations and teams involved in captive formation and management use the Captive Insurance Application; accuracy reduces regulator follow-up.
Multiple stakeholders should review the application before signing to ensure consistency between governance documents, financial exhibits, and actuarial assumptions.
An authorized officer (CEO, CFO, or corporate secretary) signs most captive applications. Include a corporate resolution or power of attorney where applicable to document delegated signing authority and ensure regulator verification of signer authority.
A licensed captive manager or broker may prepare and file the application on behalf of the parent company but must include evidence authorizing their role and provide contact information for regulator follow-up.
A detailed plan describing lines of business, underwriting strategy, projected premiums and losses, risk mitigation, and a multi-year financial forecast supporting the captive's sustainability.
