I have lost count of how many quarters in a row commercial insurance rates have increased. As you will see in the article below, they are up another 4% in Q1 2023.

I met with a potential client the other day who is in Florida, and he has had a 250% increase year to year. Of course, a lot of that has to do with carriers pulling out of his state, but it is still something we all need to watch.

With captives being a great cost-effective risk management tool for business owners, they can help provide supplemental insurance coverage and reduce costs.

Commercial Insurance Pricing
Up 4% in Q1
U.S. commercial insurance pricing increased by 4% in the first quarter, compared with a 3% increase in the fourth quarter of 2022 and matching the global rate of increase, according to a report Thursday from Marsh LLC.
Cybersecurity
We live in the digital age where everything is accessible or stored online which makes us all vulnerable to cybercriminals.

These criminals not only look for holes in networks to exploit, but they also trick people into giving up personal information via an email in a practice called phishing.

In today’s environment, data breaches happen every day. Your business needs to be prepared for the costs that are associated with a data breach.

Captive Claim Highlight
Client Profile
Industry: Retail/Wholesale
Specialty:  Commercial Production of Skin Care Products
Location: California
Claim Information
Description:  One of our Insureds produced a line of cosmetic products for resale via a third party. Upon delivery of the products, the reseller reported they were unable to sell the products due to quality issues. The Insured recalled the order and provided a credit to the customer as restoration. Through their Captive's Actual Net Loss Insurance Policy "Product Recall Expense" coverage, they were able to recover the expenses associated with the lost products.
Line of Coverage:  Product Recall Expense
This exposure was elected for coverage by the client under their Captive Policy. This resulted in a claim payment amount of approximately $250,000.
*Please note that each claim will undergo an independent investigation and thorough review process. Various components specific to the claim at hand will be assessed thoroughly to determine if the loss is covered by the policy.
