With football season in full swing, now is an excellent time to think about risk! Just as players are protected by pads, helmets, braces, and overall physical fitness, your company needs to be protected as well. 

Have you thought about Environmental risks which could harm you or your client's company? Would you believe a self-storage facility would be at risk of a meth explosion? See the article below, and you will find some risks many never thought of before.

In other Captive news, we would like to congratulate Lea Riddle as the new chairman of the North Carolina Captive Insurance Association

Enjoy your Saturday's of college football and Sunday NFL games, but don't forget about protecting your company from risks. And as always if you have any questions about implementing a Captive, call me directly or visit our Captive 101 section on our website.

Sincerely,
Larry Papola
