Chances are, you're here to solve or take advantage of one of the following:
And while you've probably heard about "captive insurance," it's likely that you want to learn more about the exact benefits of a captive and, most importantly, how they relate to YOUR individual situation. But, because this is a new concept, it's difficult to know where to even begin. To help you figure out if a captive insurance program is right for your business, I've written the "10 questions". The answers will help you place a captive insurance program in context for your current operations. Once you've answered these, I'd encourage you to move onto "captive insurance 101" which explains many of the ins and outs regarding captives. We have text and video for the following topics: 1.) Who Should Form a Captive? 2.) What Are the Non-Tax Benefits of a Captive? 3.) What Kinds Are There? 4.) What is the Process? 5.) What Services Will I Need to Form It? Most of the information is taken from my book. Finally, if you decide to form a captive - or simply want to talk about your situation with an expert in the field-- then you should move onto the third section, which is "services", which explains the four captive insurance services I offer clients: 1.) Captive Formation and Management 2.) Fixing Broken Captives 3.) Representing people who want to form a captive by making sure they're getting a captive that will comply with IRS rules and regulations 4.) Providing CPE for Texas Accountants 5.) Teaching captive insurance to financial service providers and their clients For high net worth individuals, a captive insurance program is usually a piece of a larger legal puzzle, typically falling under the name "family office." To this end, you may also be interested in international tax, estate planning or asset protection planning in addition to forming and running a captive insurance program. Finally, I have a tax law blog where I write on various tax-related issue. Finally, the pages that follow do not contain specific advice for any reader, but instead provide the "30,000 foot view."

My Book: The Leading Legal Text on Captive Insurance
 This is the first book on captive insurance which
thoroughly examines the relevant issues associated with starting a
captive insurance company. Part I begins with a description of the
companies most likely to benefit from a captive program. This is
followed by a detailed outline and explanation of the formation
process and ends with an overview of the tax issues encountered by a
property and casualty insurance company.

It begins with the reserve cases of the early 20th century and is followed by the flood plane cases of the 1950s, the I.R.S. victories of the 1980s, the taxpayer victories of the 1990s and the I.R.S.’ safe harbor Revenue Rulings of the early 2000s.
