Insurance is a form of financial loss protection in which one party agrees to compensate another party in the case of a certain loss, damage, or injury in exchange for a fee. It is a type of risk management that is primarily used to mitigate the risk of a contingent or uncertain loss. In this article, we will be going through the best insurance companies in Tanzania.
An insurer, insurance business, insurance carrier, or underwriter is a company that offers insurance. A policyholder is a person or entity who purchases insurance, whereas an insured is a person or entity who is covered by the policy.
In exchange for the insurer’s pledge to compensate the insured in the case of a covered loss, the policyholder assumes a guaranteed, known, and generally small loss in the form of a payment to the insurer (a premium).
The loss may or may not be pecuniary, but it must be quantifiable. Furthermore, it is frequently something in which the insured has an insurable interest as a result of ownership, possession, or a pre-existing relationship.
