Risk Financing and Captives

Eliminate Uncertainty about Risk Financing Alternatives

Risk financing refers to the financial methods and instruments an organization chooses to finance its recovery from accidental property and liability losses. The goal of risk financing is to achieve the least-cost coverage of an organization's loss exposures while ensuring post-loss financial resource availability.

IRMI can eliminate any uncertainty you may feel about which of the many risk financing alternatives is best for your organization or client, as well as offering invaluable insight for fine-tunning an existing program.
