2. INSURANCE AND ITS
PRINCIPLES
Insurance is simply an agreement between the insurer and the insured, a contract
between the fortunate (insurer) & unfortunate (insured).
*At a very basic level, it is some form of protection from any possible
financial losses.*
PRINCIPLES OF INSURANCE.
1] Utmost Good Faith
2] Insurable Interest
3] Indemnity
4] Subrogation
5] Contribution
6] Proximate Cause
3. CASE STUDY
Whether you are a sole trader, social enterprise; limited
company; public liability, run a local business, or own a small to
medium-sized company, a shop, warehouse or you have goods
in transit; etc. we all need to obtain insurance coverage to
compensate for the financial consequences of an unforeseen
incident.
4. Case Study
I’m so glad I had insurance . . . without it, I would have been ruined
Our client never expected that 16 years of hard work and dedication would be undone in a
single night. But that is what happened when a fire ripped through her shop (Salon),
destroying everything.
It was a Friday night and we were at home preparing for the weekend. We got a phone call
from the woman who runs a shop a few doors away from ours. She told us to get over there
as fast as we could, the police and the fire brigade were already there – and our shop was on
fire. When I got there half an hour later, It was just devastating. People from the pub next
door were out on the street watching. The fire, caused by an electrical fault, had gutted the
shop’s interior. I lost all my stock and assets which left me out of business for six months.
The fire hit at a time I was expecting my busiest season. I just thought, what am I going to do
for a salary and feared that the disaster would spell the end of my business? But there was
light at the end of the tunnel . . . insurance. If I hadn’t been adequately insured, I would have
gone under. I’d have lost everything. Insurance was one of the first things I planned. I didn’t
know the ins and outs of my policy, but I’m so glad it included the business interruption
cover.
You have to realize that it can take three to five months, or even more, to get it all back and
you need to think ahead, even though you just think it won’t ever happen to you.
The clients policy covered replacement of everything as new and she had a steady income
while the shop was out of business.

5. WHAT IS BUSINESS
INSURANCE
Businesses seek insurance to
cover potential damage to
property, to protect from lawsuit,
or contract disputes.
Business insurance
coverage protects businesses
from losses due to events that
may occur during the normal
course of business.
6. Running a business comes with inherent risks: An employee could get
injured on the job; a natural disaster could destroy property; or a client
could file suit, alleging a contractual breach.
For those and other reasons, it is important to protect your assets, both
business and personal. One of the best ways to do that is to make sure you
and your business are adequately insured.
There are many types of insurance or businesses including coverage for
property damage, legal liability and employee-related risks;
• Property Insurance
• Product Liability Insurance
• Vehicle Insurance
• Business Interruption Insurance
