4 Q&A Q: How do we save $260,767 for physician-owned hospitals? A: By implementing a captive insurance company. Q: What is a captive insurance company? A: A captive is an insurance company established to provide a broad range of risk management capabilities to affiliated companies.
5 Q&A Q: Why should you establish a captive insurance company? A: To address issues we are all facing: Rising Costs of Insurance Decreased Scope of Coverage Rising Tax Rates Increased Opportunity for Litigation
6 A Captive Provides You with the Following: Comprehensive & Customizable Insurance Coverage Minimizing Income Tax Burden Increasing Cash Flow Reducing Exposure to Lawsuits Retain Control
7 Again, a captive is your own insurance company. By owning your own insurance company, policies can be designed to provide customized and comprehensive coverage for risk related to your business. Q: What kinds of risk are we talking about?
8 Types of Risk Health Property Insured Auto Malpractice General Liability
9 Types of Risk Loss of Use of Surgery Center Computer Data Restoration LOI Due to Reputational Damage Self- Insured Inability to Practice Cost of Clean Up
10 Tax Benefits Premium payments made to a captive insurance company are 100% tax deductible to your underlying business. Sec. 831(b): Premiums received by captive insurance companies are tax exempt up to $1.2 million per year. Bottom Line: With a properly structured captive, self-insurance through a captive insurance company can create substantial tax deductions, resulting in tremendous tax savings.

14 Relevant Facts Captives have been prevalent in the US for over half of a century. More than 30 states and 35 countries currently serve as domiciles for captive insurance companies. Over 90% of Fortune 500 companies utilize a captive insurance company. The IRS provides specific Internal Revenue Code Sections and Revenue Rulings that serve as safe harbors for small business owners; the result of which is a market that exceeds $200 billion in annual insurance premiums.
15 Relevant Facts Cont. Hurricane Katrina vs. Hurricane Isaac: Business Interruption Insurance Smarter Insurance Companies Mandatory Evacuations 40% of businesses do not reopen after a disaster.
16 A Little Recap Captive insurance companies are real insurance companies owned and operated by high net-worth business owners. Premiums are tax deductible to the business. Premiums collected are tax exempt to the captive insurance company. Captive insurance companies have been around for over half a century. There is a specific IRC section validating the utilization.

20 Insurance Benefits Summary Captives will allow you to procure new and more comprehensive insurance coverage. Captives will allow you to insure non-traditional or selfinsured risks typically not purchased on the commercial insurance market due to the expensive nature of the coverage. Captives will allow you to more thoroughly insure a multitude of risks.
21 Asset Protection Benefits Assets in a captive are not exposed to creditors. Assets in a captive are only available to pay the claims approved by the captive company and its owners. Captive insurance companies can be owned inside an Asset Protection Trust. Captives allow the use of customized policies that are often too pricey or unavailable through large insurers, allowing greater flexibility and reduced exposure. Using a captive, monies can be transferred as a business expense into an independently operating, fully licensed captive insurance company. Any lawsuit, claim, divorce, tax or other action against the business owner, the business, or the assets is completely separate from the captive. Thus, investments held and owned by the captive are fully protected against litigation.
22 Estate Planning Benefits Business owners can transfer ownership at time of capitalization of the captive (i.e. to a Trust or LLC). Example: Assume that a business created a captive and premiums are set at $650,000 per year. The business owner has three children and gifts the capitalization to a dynasty trust for their benefit. The trust now owns the captive insurance company of which the children are the direct beneficiaries and not a single penny of the business owner s lifetime exclusion is used. Example Continued: Assume that the insurance company operated for 10 years and assets grew at 7% per year. Let s also assume that taxes, claims and operating expenses totaled 10% per year. After 10 years, the insurance company would have in excess of $7.6 million, of which the entire amount would be outside of the estate of the business owner and excluded from estate taxes.
