Small Business Insurance
Insurance is a program into which a business pays a regular premium in return for possible payment of a claim for damages. Many small businesses cannot operate without insurance. A large number of companies paying into an insurance program ensures that there is enough money at any given time to pay out claims for damages suffered by those companies paying into the program.

Financial Risk Management
Most of the time, when businesses fail, they fail because they run out of money. In simple terms, there is less money coming in than money going out. For a short while, this may not be a problem, but if this pattern persists, the total cash will be depleted. For freelancers and gig workers who have short term contract work, there can be a period between contracts without income.
