How insurance works and how the insurance company operates?
Insurance is a financial tool that gets a small amount from many individuals in the community and covers the risk of very few people’s belonging (Life, vehicles, Loans, Business).
By doing this both Insurer and insurance company benefits. Insurance is a wonderful tool that covers the risk in your life with a small premium.
Even though no one knows to lose their belongings, it’s always better to live happily if that risk is covered. On the other hand, the insurance company gets a profit from the small premium paid.
The insurance company works based on permutation and combination. The company calculates the risk of the person losing the belonging and calculates the premium.
For Example, A Non-smoking Person who dies before 50 years vs a Smoking person who dies before 50 years.
You know the possibility, of course, the person who smokes has more possibility of death. Thus insurance company charges more premium/fees from smoker than a non-smoker.
Even though in many cases, the possibility of either one happening is very low as the life expectancy of an average human is 70.
Insurance companies get the premium from many individuals and provide support to an insurer if he/she losses the belonging. The whole insurance process helps society to live
without fear of losing everything in case the event occurs.
The insurance company gets the premium from 1000’s people in a community and pay 10-20 people who suffered the risk. Historically this concept is working for more than 1000 years.
