Transurance acts as a third dial on your insurance program. Before it existed, companies were limited to changing their deductibles or their limits. With Transurance, companies can supersize the parts of an insurance program that have the most financial value.
Companies should buy Transurance coverage in the areas of their insurance programs where they will have the most collateral damages and where their insurance program has the most financial value. This is a relatively simple process.
Step #1: Calculate the financial value of the insurance program. Determine the financial value of insurance by subtracting the cost of insurance (annual premiums) from the cost of self-insurance, i.e. the cost of maintaining an equivalent amount of capital to deal with insurable losses. To perform this step one must know the structure of the existing insurance program (limits, premiums, layers, etc.) and the company's marginal cost of capital.
Step #2: Increase the value of the existing insurance program. This is done by eliminating coverage layers that have little or no financial value.
Step #3: Add Transurance to the restructured insurance program. Because Transurance has the same proportional value as the insurance coverage it indexes, one can maximize the financial value of their insurance by adding Transurance to coverage layers that have significant financial value.

The changes it makes to the insurance program and the addition of Transurance enable it to increase the financial value of the combined insurance program by $28.3 million and the combined insurance limits by $238 million, while reducing their combined premiums by $1.3 million.
