likely and potential impact of each incident occurring.
Once this process has been completed, you can get down to evaluating the technique which will best
suit your business and maximise your risk management moving forward.

The money you pay for your business's many insurance premiums might seem to be a waste,
especially if you never claim a loss. But the primary function of an insurance company is to safeguard
your business against such losses. The type of business you own determines the type of insurance
you need. The government requires you to have certain types of insurance to protect the public, and
lenders require insurance to protect their investment.

policies.

5 Explain the creation and application of insurable interest. Give the differences between
wagering and insurance.

3. Answer : Creation of insurable interest :
Insurable interest exists when an insured person derives a financial or other kind of benefit from the

survival). A person has an insurable interest in something when loss-of or damage-to that thing

established by ownership, possession, or direct relationship. For example, people have insurable
interests in their own homes and vehicles, but not in their neighbours' homes and vehicles, and

major concepts of insurable interest.
