Are You Running The Risk Of An Uninsured Business? Beware Get A “Business Insurance”
By: Mansi Gupta
Human life is precarious and so are the activities they indulge in. So it is not
just the human life that needs to be protected but the work that he does - his
business etc. that needs to be safeguarded. A business is a living not just for
its owners but also for the workers and the ones benefited by it. Business
insurance thus is too significant to be understood in today’s life.
What is business insurance?
Like life insurance takes care of one’s life, business insurance looks after
one’s business. All one needs to do is to select what aspects or parts of the
business should be secured. This can be comfortably done after one makes an
appropriate assessment of his company’s turnover. Since the insurance companies
provide insurance on the basis of company’s turnover.
According to the turnover a businessman can decide how much he can afford to
spend on the insurance of sentient (his partners, workers, he himself, main
suppliers etc.) as well as the insentient (machines, the workplace, the
equipment used, the cash transactions from factory to bank, shipments and the
like). A case in point can be- a dye machine that is supposed to be the main
machine in a factory and has a high cost price should be insured first. Not just
this, the worker handling the machine should also be insured for if any accident
happens with him the insurance money will take care of its medical expenses and
all. Besides this all heavy machinery, any new machine or plant to be set up,
the place where the business is set up, partners in business, workers who work
day and night and all other things whose damage or loss can incur financial
burden or even crisis can be successfully insured.
Initially there were one or two insurance companies like Oriental Insurance…but
now there are ample of agencies like TATA AIG, Chola Mandalum etc., which gives
an entrepreneur an opportunity to be selective.
Many companies nowadays provide certain complementary benefits once you get your
work ensured by them. The preferable can be the one that offers you a slightly
less premium, good and spontaneous returns or benefits and additional
facilities. However, the premium rates and returns etc. do not vary
significantly from company to company.
Even if it is small scale business (a cottage industry or so) one should not
hesitate in getting it insured. For business insurance can save you from many
unwanted and unexpected hazards for instance theft, robbery, any
accident-breaking of fire, problems that come with time-the malfunctioning of an
old machine, and any damage to life and property. Nowadays all sorts of
businesses even those which are operated online can be safeguarded through
insurance. All it takes is to inquire a little about the companies that can take
up your work’s insurance and with open eyes decide what is essentially to be
insured and so secured.
