A group captive typically has a significantly lower capital requirement than a single-parent captive. Member companies are required to make a one-time capital investment for group captive ownership, typically in the range of $25,000 to $36,000 per member. This money would be invested on the members behalf earning investment income which would be incorporated in the returns over time. There is also an expectation that the member will remain in the group captive for at least three to five years.
