Great American Captive
Risk-Sharing Models

Captives are a great alternative to "business as usual"! Great American Captive business models deliver risk-sharing options to retail agents and associations, as well as to large accounts, either on an individual (single entity) or group basis. Through the formation of a captive insurance company our risk-sharing agents and clients can:
  • Stabilize insurance costs
  • Provide coverage solutions unavailable in the traditional market
  • Diversify revenue streams
  • Gain control of their own financial destiny
What Is a Captive?
The term “captive” originally referred to a company that was formed primarily to provide insurance coverage for the assets and risk liabilities of its parent company. Today, captives are used for many purposes, but at their simplest, they allow those involved to share profits in return for sharing risks.
Our captive business model brings risk-sharing capabilities to a variety of organizations, including:
  • Retail Agents: our industry leading Agency Captive model offers your agency an opportunity to take a risk position on your book of business, be it heterogeneous or homogeneous in nature.
  • Associations: an attractive source of non-dues revenue, our Association Captive model gives the association the ability to participate in the members risk as a whole.
  • Large Account Customers: whether your firm wishes to build its own captive (Single Entity Captive) or combine forces with other peer companies (Group Captive) our model offers a variety of risk-participation options to meet your needs.

​Specialized Crop Coverage I​ncluding Multiple Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI), Crop-Hail and Named Peril Insurance

Farmers know that success is never entirely in their hands. Each year, they run the risk that their crops may get nipped by a late-spring freeze, flooded by too much rain or devastated by drought. Their crops can be flattened by a hailstorm, or eaten up by insects. And even if farmers have a great crop, a sudden drop in prices can rob them of any profits.
The Crop Insurance Division of Great American has been helping generations of farmers take control of their risks since 1925. We’re a part of Great American Insurance Group, which traces its roots back to 1872 with the founding of its lead insurer Great American Insurance Company. And we’re one of a select few private companies authorized by the United States Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency (USDA RMA) to write MPCI policies. With six regional offices throughout the U.S., our teams provide tremendous expertise in the specific needs of your region’s farmers and crops.
We also offer other important crop products including crop-hail insurance and named peril coverages. So whether you’re looking to cover a customer with a family-run farm or to insure a large commercial operation, we can help you provide the right coverage for both.
Visit our Crop Insurance Division website to see a complete list of products, tools, forms and other services available.
