Resource Highlight: MCAA’s What is a Captive Insurance Plan/Group and What Can It Do For Your Company?

December 12, 2025

Mechanical contractors face an uncertain insurance market. MCAA’s What is a Captive Insurance Plan/Group and What Can It Do For Your Company? explores the use of captive, or privately held, insurance as a way to mitigate risk and provide greater cost control relative to a contractor’s insurance premiums. It’s just one of MCAA’s educational resources that are free to MCAA members as a benefit of membership.

The bulletin covers:

  • What captive is, and why contractors might join a captive plan
  • What group captives are
  • The captive structure
  • How captives work
  • The captive marketplace
  • How contractors are using captives to avoid complacency
  • How contractors are using captives to formalize their practices and create repeatable processes that drive predictable results
  • Who qualifies to join
