Editor's Notes
If you have a insurance or risk management need we can fill it. We have recently completed a report on captives for a client including an actuarial study. (this was partially outsourced.) We have designed finite risk and self insured programs, captives and group insurance programs for homogenous groups. We’ve created these special service areas to assist our customers. For example our fire protection engineer can assist in valuing your building, inspects and reports problems to you to help prevent losses. He has assisted many clients in reducing insurance cost by recommending subtle changes in design, when called upon in the planning stage of new construction.
