Employee Benefits Captives

Written by Origin | July 21, 2025

Captives can be confusing. We're here to demystify them for you.

Put simply, a captive is a type of insurance company that an organization creates to insure itself.
Instead of buying insurance from a traditional insurance company, the business sets up its own insurance company - the captive - to cover certain risks. This allows the business to keep more control over its insurance costs, coverage, and how claims are handled.
