Insurance
Visão Geral
Every commercial transaction carries risk. A warehouse could flood, stock could be stolen in transit, or a customer could be injured on your premises. Insurance exists so that businesses and individuals can transfer these financial risks to a specialist company in exchange for a regular payment, freeing them to trade with confidence rather than fear.
In this lesson you will explore why insurance is considered an essential aid to trade, learn the principles that underpin every policy, distinguish insurable from non-insurable risks, and walk through the process of effecting cover and making a claim. These concepts appear frequently in the Edexcel Commerce examination and are central to understanding how modern commerce manages uncertainty.
