1. Captive Owner/Risk Manager/RRG Page

Dear Captive Owner,

So you have a captive.  You’ve done your homework, selected service providers, submitted your application, and received your Certificate of Authority.  You’ve issued policies and billed for the premiums.  There’s not much to do now.  You can get back to your main job and let the benefits accrue, right?  In your dreams, maybe!  Now the real work begins.  Here’s where the players get separated from the couch potato’s. 

What’s to do?
  • Keep abreast of current legislation in all domiciles.
  • Propose and steward legislation that’s favorable through the legislative process until it’s passed and implemented.
  • Stay current with IRS rulings.
  • Stay current with accounting practices.
  • Keep on top of the insurance and reinsurance markets.
  • Be aware of what other captives are doing to provide competitive advantages to their parent companies in their marketplace.
  • Meet with regulators, service providers, vendors, and other colleagues to determine best practices, best products, and verify sanity.
    Etc., etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

You get the idea – all those things you should do, but never get the time to do?

Why not hire a helper?  One who does all these things and more.  And for the lowest wage you can imagine.

That’s right – hire the AzCIA!  Made up of industry players - experts from all facets of captive and related industries – AzCIA can make the difference between being an overworked, underproductive couch potato, and being a real player.  Don’t join just another trade group – HIRE AzCIA!  Only $500 per year for those who are really in the game, $250 per year for those who are learning what the game is, and $75 per year for the water boys.
