Firearms Industry

Manufacturers, distributors and retailers face product and regulatory risk few carriers price competitively.


Why firearms industry businesses form captives

Manufacturers, distributors and retailers in the firearms industry face product liability and regulatory risk that many standard carriers either decline or price at a steep premium. A captive gives the business ownership over that risk instead.

Risk categories a captive can fund

Every captive is built around the risk a specific business actually carries, not a generic policy.

  • Product liability

    Coverage shaped around the specific products a manufacturer or distributor sells.

  • Regulatory and compliance risk

    Protection tied to a highly regulated line of business.

  • Business interruption

    Coverage for the operational risk that follows a regulatory or product event.
