When you’ve been in the traditional insurance market, having access to resources about captives is challenging. And when you do find the resources, some concepts are difficult to understand. Finding the experts in captives is just as hard, if not harder. 

For independent agents, finding a trusted network of people to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and tackle challenges sounds almost too good to be true. This is why Captive Coalition exists. 

Captive Coalition is more than a resource hub; it’s a coalition to help independent agents like you thrive. With your help and expertise, captives can be better understood, offered, and easier for your best clients to digest. That way, you can maintain those relationships and provide better solutions to those you work with the closest.

This article will help you understand how Captive Coalition works as a community for independent agents, the benefits it offers, and how it helps you better serve your clients. 

What is Captive Coalition?

Captive Coalition is more than another organization—it’s a collective of independent agents looking for clarity and wanting to connect in the captive insurance space. Captive Coalition provides:

  • Education: Specialized training programs meant to help independent agents understand captive insurance.
  • Support: Direct assistance with client conversations and prospect evaluations. 
  • Resources: Tools that simplify captives to make them easier to explain to your best clients.

  • Captive Offerings:  Unique captive programs to give your clients more than the typical one-size-fits-all solution, including single-parent, segregated cell, group, and medical benefits stop loss.

Importantly, it’s a place where agents can be understood, heard, and valued. Captive Coalition creates a collaborative ecosystem that benefits everyone involved.

The Value of a Strong Independent Agent Community

Many independent agents are, understandably, less familiar with captives. It isn’t very much talked about within the traditional market. There is uncertainty in presenting captives. This is why Captive Coalition has the proper resources and a community where agents can:

  • Share best practices and lessons learned. 
  • Learn from peers who have faced similar challenges.
  • Have the confidence to present captives through collective knowledge and experience.

Agents can have a collaborative environment that allows them to create new solutions to best serve their clients. Competition is less of a factor. The coalition is about helping each other to achieve greater success and retain your best clients.

How Captive Coalition Supports Agents

Other than education, Captive Coalition helps agents with:

  • Comprehensive Training: Captives can be difficult to understand, especially with a lack of resources out there. We make it so captives are easy to understand and that you can effectively convey their benefits and drawbacks to your best clients. 
  • Client Conversation Support: From initial discussions to in-depth evaluations, we’re here to help frame captives in a way your clients will understand and value. 
  • Broad Offerings: Whether it’s single-parent captives, group captives, or cell captives, we ensure you understand the options that will meet your client’s specific needs.

What Makes Captive Coalition Different?

What’s important about Captive Coalition is its emphasis on collaboration between the agent, the insured, and the coalition itself. It’s more than products or programs. Everyone must be aligned to work toward the best outcomes. 

There’s also room for flexibility. Many competitors in the traditional market tend to offer rigid solutions, but your clients might need something better to suit their needs. There are a variety of captive models to choose from, whether group, single-parent, or cell captives. We want to ensure you have the best fit for your most valuable clients.

The Future of Captive Coalition

The future is centered around creating stronger connections among agents and providing more efficient tools to support their success. By providing more resources and better technology, the risk assessment and proposal process can be streamlined. This will allow agents to provide timely and practical solutions to their clients.

The goal is simple: making everything about captive insurance easier and effective for everyone involved.

It’s More Than Captive Coalition; It’s About You

While Captive Coalitions is a community for independent agents, it’s also much more. It’s a way to change the insurance industry and stop being stuck in the insurance hamster wheel, where you work harder for the same results. 

Being part of the coalition offers tools, support, and confidence to understand captives and help your best clients. And we’re here to help you every step of the way.
