New Zealand As A Captive Insurance Domicile

New Zealand has world-leading captive insurance legislation, making it a very attractive
place to establish your captive insurance company.

There are 20 captive companies already domiciled in NZ, all subsidiary companies to NZ &
Australian-owned corporations.

What is a Captive Insurance Company?
It’s a way of self-insuring instead of paying an insurer to manage your risk. All sorts of
large companies use captive insurance arrangements – they save money, administration
and time.

Why New Zealand?
NZ is not just a beautiful country! We have a lightly regulated environment for captive
insurance companies, an established and well operated insurance industry and a number of
international insurance broking firms who can assist you to set up your captive.
