With a strong business infrastructure and a responsive judiciary system, Delaware is set to become a leader in the captive arena, both in the United States and internationally, according to William P. White, the domicile's new captive administrator.

"Something like 60 percent of all the Fortune 500 companies use Delaware as their corporate domicile," he noted. "There are reasons for that...financial reasons as well as the fact that the law is responsive to business." Mr. White accepted the position just one week before the Vermont Captive Insurance Association conference in Burlington early last month.

He added that the state has expertise in dealing with the legal issues of businesses, while its judiciary understands what needs to be done to properly regulate commerce.
