Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont Department of Economic Development announced today that the State of Vermont licensed 38 new captive insurance companies in 2020, Vermont is now home to 589 licensed captives, consisting of 564 active and 25 dormant captive insurance companies.
“It is great news that Vermont has remained a consistent leader in the captive industry during the coronavirus pandemic,” said Commissioner of Economic Development Joan Goldstein. “Captive insurance plays a key role in our efforts to strengthen the state economy and its growth is welcomed as the pandemic continues to impact every sector of our economy.”
The new captives were licensed in healthcare, real estate, manufacturing, insurance, transportation, technology, construction, and professional services. New and notable companies this year include the University of Southern California, State Street Bank, Saputo, and the Blackstone Group. At least six of Vermont’s new captives in 2020 were formed by companies with international roots, —including Canada, Germany (2), Sweden, Dubai, and Australia.
