France
France is a growing challenger in the European market, applying Solvency II regulations to ensure high quality in shareholders and solvency. Domiciling in France allows direct captives to operate across Europe under the Freedom of Service principle. The regulator, ACPR, maintains a dedicated team for captive supervision and emphasizes solid governance structured around '4 eyes' principles.
