An insurance company is a business that provides insurance policies to individuals, businesses, and other organizations in exchange for payment of premiums.
Insurance companies pool the risk of their policyholders and use actuarial calculations to determine the appropriate premiums to charge based on the likelihood of claims being made.
In the event that a policyholder makes a claim covered by their policy, the insurance company provides financial compensation up to the limits specified in the policy.
