Risk Retention Solutions

Captive on the Farm

About Us

The Eliason group is a full service insurance agency which allows the marriage of commercial insurance and captive insurance to create a solid risk transfer plan.
Eliason Group was organized in a farm machine shed in Bertrand, Nebraska by a group of farmers to focus on farm insurance issues like larger premiums, larger “exclusions”, and smaller coverages.  Eliason Group founders were fortunate to discover special tax treatment legislated for the farmer formation of a Micro-captive specified in the 1986 Inflation Reduction Act.

Self-Insurance:
Understanding its Importance and Necessity

Self-insurance is a critical concept that many individuals and businesses should grasp in today’s economic landscape. It refers to the practice of setting aside funds to cover potential losses rather than purchasing traditional insurance policies. This method allows you to manage risk more effectively by giving you control over your resources. Understanding the importance and necessity of self-insurance can empower individuals and organizations to make informed decisions about their financial futures.

One of the foremost benefits of self-insurance is cost savings. By avoiding the premiums associated with conventional insurance, individuals and businesses can allocate those funds towards building a robust financial reserve. This practice not only provides a safety net for unforeseen events but also enables one to invest in their growth and development. Additionally, self-insurance allows for greater flexibility in managing claims, as resources can be deployed according to specific needs without the constraints imposed by insurance providers.

Furthermore, self-insuring encourages a more proactive approach to risk management. When individuals and businesses are directly accountable for their losses, they tend to evaluate their risks more critically, fostering the implementation of preventative measures. This shift in mindset can lead to safer practices, ultimately reducing the frequency and severity of incidents that necessitate a claim. In summary, understanding self-insurance is vital for anyone looking to fortify their financial standing while also promoting accountability and resourcefulness in risk management strategies.
