Navigating the complexities of risk management in the storage facility industry requires innovative solutions that can handle a wide range of challenges—from legal liabilities to customer satisfaction. A prime example of such innovation is the approach taken by the owner of 5,000 self-storage units, who leveraged captive insurance to address a critical coverage gap.
Case Study Insight
The owner was confronted with a significant challenge: providing an option for his renters to insure the contents of each storage unit, a service many renters were unable to provide for themselves. To resolve this, the owner established a captive insurance company specifically to manage a limit-per-unit (depending on what the renter wanted to pay for). This arrangement was optional but became popular among renters, offering them an affordable monthly fee for substantial protection.
Effective Risk Mitigation
By implementing a captive insurance solution, the owner not only provided renters with much-needed peace of mind but also protected their own financial interests. This model proved effective in balancing risk and reward, demonstrating captive insurance’s ability to streamline financial liabilities and enhance asset protection. The captive provided the owner with underwriting profit (the nationwide average loss ratio for this line of business is less than 20%) and the ability to earn investment income on the premium reserves in the captive.
