At a minimum, a study should develop a business plan that shows potential premiums and losses and addresses some of the tax issues, said Art Koritzinsky, managing director of Marsh L.L.C.'s captive solutions group in Norwalk, Conn. That might cost $15,000. But a full-blown study that the client could use to educate its leadership and put in a file in case the Internal Revenue Service ever asks for the business case will also talk about domiciles, operation issues, perhaps include a multiyear plan for expansion. That might cost another $15,000. 7
Origin of the 1st Student-Run Captive Insurance Company Michael M. Bill, founder of MJ Insurance, and I formulated the concept of a student-run captive at a dinner in 2015 based, in part, on previous experiences I had as a risk manager. Mr. Bill's extensive career, experience & dedication to the industry were key in making this idea a reality. Captives expose students to insurance company operations; the formulation, development & pricing of insurance products; the use of Captives as a critical risk management tool to lower total cost of risk, expand coverage & provide more program control. Our students work with risk managers, brokers, underwriters, loss control engineers, reinsurance; etc. Selected Risks Provide Relatable Context 8
