Insurance can be defined like the equitable transferring of a risk of loss, from one constitution to another, and can be considered as a guaranteed as well as known small loss for preventing a large, probably devastating loss. Insurers are companies selling the insurances; the insured are called those persons or entities who are buying the insurance. Risks that are commercially insurable usually share the following common characteristics: definite loss, accidental loss, large loss, affordable premium, calculable loss, catastrophically large losses limited risk.

Any risk which can be quantified potentially can be insured. Specific types of risk that can give rise for claims are called perils. An insurance policy will set out in detail which perils are covered by the policy and which are not.
