English term or phrase: fronting company

Definição = An insurer that issues policies with the intention of transferring most of the insured exposure through reinsurance or other means to unauthorized insurers or reinsurers or captive insurers.

When you start looking for an insurance company to front your captive’s programme, there will be no shortage of companies
willing to work with you. Be wary of them. It is not good enough for an insurer to have worked on something similar to a captive in
the past. A solid captive fronting company is one that both specialises in captives and assigns a team of captive-specialist professionals to your business.
