Have you ever wondered if captive insurance is right for your company? Thanks to Doug Hayden, Senior Vice President of Captive Resources, LLC., a group of savvy business owners and CFOs got an extensive breakdown of how performance-based insurance can be beneficial for their business’s bottom line at an April 22nd virtual seminar hosted by Rancho Mesa.

A captive is designed for companies that are not only interested in controlling insurance costs and retaining investment income, but obtaining high quality coverage and insurance-related services. 

Attendees were walked through the mechanics and structure of a captive that makes them successful. Following the introduction of a captive concept, Mike Regan, CEO of Pacific Green Landscape, joined Doug to answer questions and provide insight from first-hand experience as a captive member.

This seminar produced a lots of great questions. If you are interested in a captive for your business or have questions about this option, contact Rancho Mesa at (619) 937-0164.
