Message from the President


Utah is “THE PLACE” for Captive Insurance!

We all know that Utah is world-renowned as a premier outdoor recreation mecca. Did you also know that Utah and her cities are also recognized as a global leader in business, government and industry? Over the past few years the “Beehive State” has received number one rankings by various nation-wide organizations in categories such as “Best Performing Cities,” “Best State Economy,” “Best State to start a Business,” and “Best State for GDP Growth.”

But what really sets Utah apart are her citizens. Utahns are recognized the world over as being friendly, industrious, creative, supportive, and willing to go the extra mile to help and serve others. It’s no wonder that 500 business-owners from states all across the country have chosen to domicile or re-domicile their captive insurance companies in the Great State of Utah! 

Captive Insurance Companies have become an indelible part of the Utah business landscape, with seasoned, savvy, creative regulators, creating a regulatory environment possessing:

an optimistic "can-do" attitude,

leading-edge regulatory guidelines,

professionals willing to listen to new and exciting opportunities,

multiple captive insurance company structures and options,

all while offering one of the lowest cost structures in the industry.

Spend a few minutes here to learn more about why Utah makes perfect sense for your Captive!

- Ken Avery, UCIA President
