A Captive Insurance is that one which provides risk mitigation service to its Parent Company.

Captive Insurance company may be formed if the parent company is unable to find an outside firm to insure against a particular business risk, if the parent company determines that the premiums it pays to the captive insurance company are sufficiently deductible; or that the insurance the captive insurance company provides is more affordable or offers better coverage.

Captive insurance companies are insurance companies established by a parent group or group which specific objectives of covering the risks to which the parent is exposed.Hence the use of such companies constitute a type of self insurance , as the companies are wholly owned and controlled by it's insureds , which seems to be an alternative form of risk management more practical and popular means through which the companies can protect them self financially while having more control over how they are insured.

Best wishes.
