Captive strategy and execution, built around business reality.

Berrizal Partners advises organisations spending more than €500k per year in insurance premiums on the design, formation, optimisation, and use of captive insurance and reinsurance solutions.

Independent from placement economics. No commissions. No contingent fees.

Who it’s for
Typically relevant where captive economics are material:
  • €500k+ annual premium spend
  • Multinational programmes, complex retentions, collateral or fronting constraints
  • Captive under review (governance, ROI, expansion, redesign)
  • Credit / surety / trade finance risk-financing needs
Typical outcomes

Reduced frictional cost of risk, improved programme resilience, and clearer capital allocation between market, captive, and balance sheet.

Solutions

Full-scope captive advisory.

From feasibility to formation, optimisation, and ongoing use—designed to make risk-financing decisions clear, defensible, and executable.

Captive Feasibility & Formation

Feasibility, structuring, domicile selection, governance, and formation support.

Optimisation & Governance

Health checks, redesign, expansion to new lines, board-ready ROI rationale.

Reinsurance & Risk Financing

Retention strategy, fronting mechanics, collateral optimisation, programme architecture.

Cell & Rent-a-Captive

Faster access to captive economics with controlled setup and governance.

Industry focus

Banks & Trade Finance: captive as a capital and risk allocation instrument.

Where trade finance, factoring, and receivables financing meet credit insurance, a captive can improve resilience and capital efficiency— if structured correctly across market, captive, and balance sheet.
