Resident Director and Manager Services
The North Carolina Captive Insurance Act requires that all North Carolina captive insurers maintain a director (if a corporation) or manager (if a limited liability company) resident with the state. Because many of our clients do not live within the state, we offer resident director and manager services for our client, on an annual contractual basis. We also offer, for a separate fee, registered agent services for our clients.

Once we have helped create your captive insurer, we remain at your service for your further needs.
