The Future of Member Benefits

Stop paying for insurance.
Start owning it.

We empower trade associations to launch exclusive, member-owned insurance programs. Escape the hard market, get better coverage, and earn cash dividends for running a safe business.

Why your association is leaving money on the table.

You Lose Your Profits

Traditional carriers keep every dollar of unused premium after claims are paid. Your good safety record pays for their record profits.

No Investment Return

Carriers invest your members' premiums while waiting to pay out claims, and they keep 100% of the interest and gains generated.

Zero Transparency

Assessments of risk are hidden in black boxes. Associations rarely see the true data behind their members' loss ratios or real risk costs.

Unfair Rate Hikes

Even if your members have zero claims, premiums spike due to "global market conditions" to subsidize the carrier's broader losses.

How It Works

From Consumer to Program Owner

Group Captive Insurance allows you to form an exclusive insurance pool with peers who share your commitment to safety. By cutting out the middleman, you take control of your risk and your money.

The Traditional Model

You pay high premiums to a massive carrier
Carrier keeps all unused premium profits
Carrier keeps all investment income
The Winning Model

The Captive8 Model

Premiums go to your own Captive facility
Unused Profits: Returned back to Members
Investment Income: Returned back to Members
1

Pool Your Resources

Members of your association pool their premiums together into an exclusive, member-owned fund.

2

Cover Your Claims

The fund pays out predictable claims. Specialized reinsurance is purchased to handle unexpected catastrophes.

3

Keep the Profits

At the end of the year, whatever money hasn't been used for claims is returned to members as cash dividends.

The Ultimate Win-Win

Everyone Benefits.

For Associations

Transform your association from a networking group into a critical financial partner for your members' businesses.

  • Create a powerful, exclusive member benefit that drives retention.
  • Generate significant new non-dues revenue for the association.
  • Attract new members who want access to the exclusive insurance program.

For Members

Stop letting your good safety record subsidize bad businesses in the traditional market. Keep your profits.

  • Dramatically lower your net cost of risk over time with cash dividends.
  • Enjoy stable, predictable pricing that isn't dictated by "market trends."
  • Access broader coverage customized for your specific industry risks.

Industry Proof

The Power of Group Captives.

While every program is unique, the group captive structure consistently outperforms the traditional market across industries.

Example: Manufacturing

Insulating Against Market Shocks

Manufacturers bypass the cyclical volatility of the commercial market by building specialized reserves to fund risks that traditional carriers overprice, taking true control of their risk.

Reduction in Total Cost of Risk

20-30% (TCOR)

Example: Construction

Escaping the Subsidization Trap

High-performing contractors use captives to stop paying for the poor safety records of their peers, optimizing their combined loss ratios to the 70%-85% benchmark.

Average Annual Dividend Yield

25-55% of premium

98%

Member Retention Rate

Once members experience the benefits of ownership, they rarely leave.

FAQ

You have questions. We have answers.

What exactly is a Captive?
A captive is simply an insurance company created and owned by the people it insures. Instead of buying insurance from a big corporation, you and your association peers form your own "mini" insurance company to cover your own businesses.
Is this legal and regulated?
Yes. Group captives are heavily regulated and must adhere to strict state or offshore regulatory requirements to ensure solvency, exactly like traditional insurance carriers. Captive8 handles all of this compliance for you.
What happens if there's a huge catastrophic claim?
Your group's captive pool is designed to handle common, predictable claims. For large, catastrophic events, the captive purchases "reinsurance" (insurance for the insurance company) to absorb the massive hits and protect the members.
Do my members have to leave their current broker to join?
Not at all. We regularly work alongside members' existing retail brokers. We view brokers as partners and allow them to continue advising your members while utilizing our captive programs.
Is my association large enough to do this?
Captives used to be exclusively for fortune 500 companies. With Captive8's technology platform, we can launch efficient, profitable syndicate groups for associations of almost any size. The easiest way to find out is to request a free savings analysis.
