Captive insurance domiciles

A captive's domicile is the jurisdiction that licenses and regulates it. Its law decides the captive types available and the capital, governance and reporting rules that follow. Bastivo has detailed guides for Vermont, Delaware, Utah, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands; choose one below to see its rules and the providers that record a relationship with it.

When comparing domiciles, ask specialists which statutory type fits your plan, which local roles are required and what ongoing filings involve. A provider's office location is not the same as experience in a domicile; each listing shows the relationship the provider records.
