1 Types of insurance

One of the first steps to having a comprehensive understanding of insurance products is to know the different types of insurance available and how they work. Insurance can be broadly classified into two categories: life and non-life. Life insurance covers the risk of death or disability, and provides a lump sum or regular income to the beneficiaries. Non-life insurance covers the risk of loss or damage to property, liability, health, or other events, and provides compensation or reimbursement to the policyholder or the third party. Within each category, there are various subtypes of insurance, such as term, whole, universal, or variable life insurance, or auto, home, travel, or health insurance. Each subtype has its own features, benefits, limitations, and costs, and requires careful comparison and analysis.

3 Factors affecting insurance

A third advantage of having a comprehensive understanding of insurance products is to understand the factors that affect your insurance coverage and premium. Insurance is based on the principle of risk pooling, which means that the insurer collects premiums from a large group of policyholders and pays claims to those who suffer losses. The insurer uses various factors to determine the probability and severity of losses, and to calculate the appropriate premium for each policyholder. Some of the common factors are age, gender, health, occupation, lifestyle, location, vehicle type, credit score, claim history, deductible, and coverage limit. By understanding these factors, you can optimize your insurance coverage and premium, and avoid underinsurance or overinsurance.

4 Sources of insurance

A fourth advantage of having a comprehensive understanding of insurance products is to know the different sources of insurance and how to access them. Insurance can be obtained from various sources, such as private insurers, public insurers, employers, associations, or government programs. Each source has its own advantages and disadvantages, such as cost, quality, availability, flexibility, and regulation. For example, private insurers may offer more options and customization, but may also charge higher premiums and impose stricter underwriting.

One thing I found helpful while doing property insurance is to arrange for inspection through company Engineers where the risk is medium or large whether small, and in other cases I myself inspect the risks from the experience gained from Engineers and also taking their guidance; this inspection will be done prior to accepting risk for insurance or subsequently in any case within 3 months; based on the inspection the policy will be regularised in concurrence with the insured. Risk Management suggestions wer also made. These made the clients happy and awareness on insurance policy is also achieved. Nowadays, I find these are misssing.
