The insurance industry is changing—are you leading the way or struggling to keep up?
Independent Agent Success
If you’re like most independent agents, you’re tired of the renewal hamster wheel—reacting to rate hikes, fighting to retain clients, and hoping competitors don’t swoop in with something new. You deserve better. And so do your clients.
Captive insurance isn’t just another option—it’s a long-term strategy that puts you in control. Captives give you the power to build lasting client relationships and escape the unpredictability of traditional insurance.
At Captive Coalition, we help agents into a future where they control the conversation, keep their best clients, and grow their income through stability and service—not chaos and quotes. From your first captive conversation to full onboarding, we’re with you the whole way:
-
We teach you how captives work—and how to talk about them confidently.
-
We help you identify and prequalify the right clients.
-
We walk you through the presubmission and submission process.
-
We manage the captive and provide long-term support to ensure success.
And most importantly: your client stays your client.
Captive Coalition is a full-service captive program built for independent agents. Every business in our programs must be represented by an agent. No exceptions. We never work direct, and we never compete with you. We exist to make sure you stay in the driver’s seat—backed by tools, training, and captives that deliver real results.

How will this impact my income? Is there recurring income potential?
Captive insurance offers a strong earning potential for independent agents, with both immediate compensation and long-term recurring revenue.
- You set your own fees – Unlike traditional insurance, there are no commission caps or restrictions. Your earnings are based on the value you provide.
- Recurring revenue model – Since most clients remain in captives for 9-10 years or longer, agents benefit from ongoing income.
- Quarterly commission payments – Instead of waiting for an annual commission, you receive payments every quarter, creating a more frequent and predictable cash flow.
- Additional income opportunities – Even after placing a client in a captive, you can continue earning through:
- Risk management consulting
- Loss control strategies
- Captive administration support
Captive insurance not only helps retain your best clients, but it also creates a stable, long-term income stream for your business.
