Arizona Captive Insurance Compliance
Demonstrating adherence to Arizona Revised Statutes Title 20, Chapter 5, Article 2 requirements for captive insurance company formation.
Regulatory Requirements
The Integral Mass Captive meets all statutory requirements for Arizona captive insurance licensure.
Risk Distribution
Requirement: Multiple independent risk units
Our Model: 12 General Contractors across 3 uncorrelated markets
Evidence: Queuing simulation demonstrates risk independence
Capitalization
Requirement: Minimum $250,000 capital and surplus
Our Model: $1,000,000 initial capitalization
Evidence: 4x regulatory minimum, 2.8x solvency ratio
Actuarial Soundness
Requirement: Demonstrated financial viability
Our Model: <1% probability of ruin over 10 years
Evidence: Monte Carlo simulation with 5,000 runs
Detailed Compliance Analysis
1. Risk Distribution (A.R.S. § 20-1098.01)
Statutory Requirement: A captive insurance company must insure risks of multiple entities to demonstrate true risk distribution.
Our Compliance:
- 12 Independent Risk Units: Each General Contractor operates independently with separate business operations, financial structures, and management. The captive incentivizes these GCs to specialize in prefab installations by protecting them against the fortuitous risks of adopting new techniques.
- Geographic Distribution: GCs operate across Arizona in urban (Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff), suburban, and rural areas.
- Market Diversification: Three distinct market segments (Student, Multi-Generational, Rural) with uncorrelated risk profiles.
- Operational Independence: Queuing simulation demonstrates that GC failures are independent events—one GC's risk event does not correlate with another's.
- Innovation Incentive Structure: Like corporate captives that insure internal R&D divisions, our model allows GCs to pay premiums that smooth cash flow and protect against learning-curve risks when adopting new prefab installation methods.
Supporting Evidence:
Our queuing simulation tracked 120+ installation projects across 12 GCs. Risk events occurred independently with no clustering by GC or market, confirming true risk distribution. The captive structure incentivizes GC specialization by absorbing fortuitous innovation risks.
2. Minimum Capital and Surplus (A.R.S. § 20-1098.02)
Statutory Requirement: Pure captive insurance companies must maintain minimum capital and surplus of $250,000.
Our Compliance:
- Initial Capitalization: $1,000,000 (4x regulatory minimum)
- Solvency Ratio: 2.8x expected annual claims
- Reserve Adequacy: 95th percentile Monte Carlo outcome remains above $1.5M
- Investment Strategy: Conservative 4% annual return on reserves
Supporting Evidence:
Monte Carlo simulation demonstrates that even in adverse scenarios (5th percentile), capital remains well above regulatory minimums throughout the 10-year projection period.
3. Feasibility Study (A.R.S. § 20-1098.03)
Statutory Requirement: Applicants must provide a feasibility study demonstrating the proposed captive's viability.
Our Compliance:
This entire website constitutes our feasibility study, rendered in executable code.
- Business Plan: Detailed market analysis across three segments
- Financial Projections: 10-year Monte Carlo simulation with 5,000 scenarios
- Operational Analysis: Queuing theory validation of GC capacity
- Risk Assessment: Comprehensive risk modeling with claim frequency and severity distributions
- Actuarial Analysis: Professional-grade simulation using industry-standard methods
Unique Approach:
Rather than a static PDF document, our feasibility study is a living, executable codebase. Every claim in this application can be independently verified by running the simulation code. This provides unprecedented transparency and auditability.
4. Business Plan (A.R.S. § 20-1098.04)
Statutory Requirement: Detailed business plan including organizational structure, management, and operations.
Our Compliance:
- Organizational Structure: Pure captive insuring 12 GC parent companies
- Management: Professional captive management services (to be contracted)
- Operations: Claims processing, underwriting, and risk management protocols
- Reinsurance: Excess of loss reinsurance for catastrophic events (to be arranged)
- Investment Policy: Conservative fixed-income strategy for reserve management
5. Pro Forma Financial Statements (A.R.S. § 20-1098.05)
Statutory Requirement: Three-year pro forma financial statements.
Our Compliance:
Our Monte Carlo simulation generates complete financial projections including:
- Income Statement: Premium income, investment income, claims expense, operating expenses
- Balance Sheet: Capital, reserves, assets, liabilities
- Cash Flow: Operating, investing, and financing activities
- Solvency Metrics: Capital adequacy ratios, reserve-to-premium ratios
Year 1-3 Projections (Mean Values):
- Year 1: Premium $600K, Claims $180K, Net Income $380K, Ending Capital $1.38M
- Year 2: Premium $600K, Claims $180K, Net Income $395K, Ending Capital $1.78M
- Year 3: Premium $600K, Claims $180K, Net Income $410K, Ending Capital $2.19M
