Independent captive readiness score
Are you Captive Ready?
Or just Captive Curious?
A captive is a self-owned insurance vehicle and a great tool for risk financing and strategy, and for actively managing your organisation’s total cost of risk (TCOR). This free score out of 100 shows whether you and your team are ready for one, what the important things to consider are, and what to think about next.

Illustrative result
An invented example, to show what you will see: a score, a label, and a bar for each part of your business.
One Quick Survey for a Clear View
When you finish the questions, you get a score out of 100 and one of three results.
Captive Curious
You are exploring. Something basic needs work first, often how much you spend on insurance or the board’s backing.
Getting Close
Much is in place. A few gaps are worth closing before you commit.
Captive Ready
The basics look strong. A feasibility study is the natural next step.

If you want it, we email it to your work address after a quick check that the address is yours.
Who pays? Only the buyer.
Paid only by the buyer. No money from insurers, brokers, captive managers or regulators.
If we recommend providers or domiciles in paid work, we say how we are paid by third parties, if at all, and whether we have any other interest.
Fully owned captive or protected cell?
A fully owned captive is a subsidiary within your group. A protected cell captive (PCC) sits inside a shared company, run by others. Your score is never changed by which you prefer, but the result might help you think through the potential options.
