Are you prepared to cover your risk? A transfer of risk, considered the foundation of insurance transactions, is a risk management technique where risk shifts from one party to another.
Risks may transfer between individuals, from individuals to insurance companies, or from insurers to reinsurers. For instance, when a person purchases home insurance, they are paying the premium to assume the risks associated with homeownership. For businesses, risk is quite hefty in many different areas, which is why it is so crucial to incorporate proper risk management solutions into your business safety plan.
Insurance: The Most Common Method of Risk Transfer
The most common method of risk transfer is purchasing an insurance policy. The right insurance professionals have the expertise to integrate a tailor-made risk finance solution. Risk management solutions can help you obtain greater program flexibility and increased control over market fluctuations in premium.
When purchasing insurance, the insurer agrees to indemnify a policyholder up to a certain amount for a specified loss in exchange for payment. It is in your best interest to make sure that your business is properly secured for its unique risks. Consider how risk management solutions can be of service to your business.
Alternative Risk Transfer Solutions
Combining insurance with alternative risk transfer techniques provides new avenues of risk transfer for companies. There are a variety of alternative risk transfer methods to consider. It will just come down to your type of business and preference.
At Arroyo, you will be able to work with an agent to determine productive risk management solutions that improve your bottom line. Solution options include:
- Large Deductible
- Self-Insurance
- Captives
- Risk Retention Groups (RRGs)
- Pools
- Event-Triggered Risk Transfer
- Catastrophe Bonds
Finding the Right Fit
Each business is one of a kind, and therefore has a different risk profile. Alternative risk transfer solutions are typically a good fit for companies with low-risk profiles and a dedication to maintaining safe operations. They may also work with unique risks that are uninsurable in the standard market.
Risk management solutions can be the best protection partner in a time of need. You will want an insurance provider to assist you in evaluating whether any of these solutions align with your corporate strategy.
