Germany
While not a typical domicile, Germany attracts captives through compliance requirements and the efficiency of sharing staff with parent companies and in-house brokers. Operations are governed by Solvency II and Section 122 VAG, with BaFin withdrawing authorization if eligible funds fall below strict minimums. Minimum capital requirements are calculated based on EU Delegated Regulation 2015/35.
