Strategic Risk Alternatives Origins Strategic Risk Alternatives (SRA) was formed to offer risk solutions to small and middle market entities by a team of insurance and finance industry professionals with over 40 years of combined experience. As the firm began to look at the captive insurance industry as a risk management strategy it quickly became apparent that many captives were, and still are, simply sold and created to take advantage of the tax code. These programs are often riddled with hidden fees, significant start up and maintenance costs, and a general lack of transparency. SRA decided to re-engineer the approach to captive insurance by developing an enterprise risk management strategy. This approach focuses on utilizing the 831(b) tax code as a risk management tool and considers the tax advantages a secondary benefit. SRA has differentiated itself by offering economical start up costs, a transparent & simplified fee structure, and consistent administrative support. New risk management strategies continue to be added to the SRA portfolio in order to help its clients further enhance the value of their products and services. 2 strategicriskalternatives.com
