New York Times Article Praises Small Captives
Sometimes praise comes from the most unlikely sources. With the economic onslaught caused by COVID-19, even a New York Times columnist is suggesting what we have always said – that small captives are a powerful risk management and survival vehicle for small and middle-market companies that can actually save businesses and save peoples’ jobs.
Writing in the Wealth Matters section of the New Your Times, columnist Paul Sullivan writes that:
“[Small Captive Insurance Companies are] proving to be beneficial as the coronavirus pandemic shuts down local economies.”
His March 20, 2020 article is titled, “Once Scrutinized, An Insurance Product Becomes a Crisis Lifeline.” We couldn’t agree more.
Sullivan also points out that:
But now some of the more common coverage options, like the risk that business will be interrupted or a supply chain disrupted, are claims that business owners need to make. In this economic crisis, captives may be showing their worth.
Again, we couldn’t agree more – see our recent Captivating Thinking article:
