• When a captive does not make sense
  The cases where I say no, and what they have in common.
• How much premium do you actually need
  Published minimums disagree by a factor of three. Here is why, and what actually drives it.
• How to commission a study you can trust
  What to ask a provider before you engage them, including the one question that changes the answer.
• What a captive should be earning
  If yours is only breaking even, something is wrong. Where to look.

  The question franchisors settle too late.
• Product liability inside a captive
  Why it suits manufacturers, and where it goes wrong.
