excellent financial protection and wealth-preservation tool. Having the right kind of insurance
is a critical component of any good risk-management Insurance is a contract, represented by a
policy, in which an individual or entity receives insurance policy or reimbursement against
losses from an insurance company. The company pools clients' risks to make payments more
affordable for the insured. Insurance policies are used to hedge against the risk of financial
losses that may result from damage to the insured or her property, or from liability for damage or
injury caused to a third party. Business requires special types of financial plan that insure
against specific types of risks faced by it. Two of the most important components of all insurance
policies are the premium and the deductible. A policy premium is simply its price, typically
expressed as a out of pocket cost, The premium is determined by the insurance company based
on the business' risk profile. The second important monthly cost is the deductible. Whenever
you make a claim, you are required to meet a minimum out-of-pocket expense, or deductible,
before the insurance company pays for your losses. Deductibles can apply per-policy or per-
claim depending on the insurer and the type of policy. Policies with very high deductibles are

In zilele de navigaie i navigaie rudimentar, vestea era deseori proast: navele ar fi naufragiat,
iar comercianii ar fi ruinai. Dei asigurarea navelor i a mrfurilor poate fi urmrit napoi la
fenicieni, la cminul lui Lloyd's sa nscut asigurarea marin modern. Un proprietar de nave ar
scrie pe o foaie de hrtie detaliile unei cltorii propuse - numele, traseul i portul de apel al unei
nave, valoarea cruei i a ncrcturii sale i suma pe care a fost dispus s o plteasc
"Asigurare".
La sfritul secolului al XVII-lea, marinarii s-au adunat la cafeneaua lui Edward Lloyd, n Turnul
Street, n apropiere de Thames Waterfront din Londra, brfe, cri de joc i afaceri. Cafeaua,
apreciat pentru puterile sale terapeutice, era un banc o ceac. Stilouri, cerneal i hrtie erau
gratuite, aa cum au fost tirile oferite de alergtorii lui Lloyd, care se scurgeau nainte i napoi
ntre cafenea i docuri, colectnd cele mai recente informaii despre nave i ncrcturile lor.
Pn n 1771, dei Edward Lloyd a fost mult timp mort, numele su a rmas pe msur ce a fcut
tradiia de a face afaceri din bnci din lemn, grupate n cutii dreptunghiulare, n jurul unei ncperi
mari. Cei care beau cafea, care se mbogiser n cabine i bnci n jurul camerei, muli dintre ei
proprietarii de nave, ar decide apoi, ct de mult ar exista vreunul dintre riscurile pe care erau
dispui s le accepte n schimbul primei. Un "asigurtor" i va scrie numele pe carnetul
proprietarului navei sub informaia de expediere (prin urmare, termenul de subscriptor)
