Welcome to the Canterbury Consulting, LLC. website! We hope you find the information provided here beneficial when it comes to making decisions about how to maximize use of your company's strategic capital.

We focus our efforts toward top-level executives in insurance companies and financial services organizations with actuarial and/or accounting backgrounds. Their companies typically have capital needs to support rapid growth, or they need access to capital currently embedded in blocks of inforce life insurance and/or annuity policies to use for other purposes. In many cases, financial reinsurance is the instrument of choice to meet these needs.

Individuals familiar with the role financial reinsurance plays but unfamiliar with how to arrange for it will find this website invaluable. The role of Canterbury Consulting, LLC, is to bring companies with capital needs (sellers) and companies with excess capital (buyers) together to achieve mutually profitable capital objectives.
