A highly specialized form of captive operation. These companies are designed for firms that do not want to own a captive but want to obtain some of its advantages. A rent-a-captive is formed by investors and is operated as an income producing business. An insured pays a premium and usually pays a deposit or posts a letter of credit to back up its business. The operators of rent-a-captives handled the operations and claims for the insured and place the reinsurance. .At the end of the policy period the insured is paid a dividend based on incurred losses, operating expenses, and cost of reinsurance.
