Insurance companies provide risk management to individuals, businesses, and institutional clients through contracts. Although there are a multitude of different types of insurance companies, the basic principle is that the insurer guarantees payment or reimbursement in the event of losses for the insured. Thanks to pooled risk, insurers historically have been able to offer clients affordable rates in many cases.
