Insurance is a financial product sold by insurance companies to safeguard you, your property or your business against variety of risks.

You can buy insurance policies for many aspects of your life, for example for your home, car, pet, business, health or retirement.

• Some types of insurance you have to take out by law such as motor insurance if you drive a vehicle or employer’s liability if you are an employer.
• Some you may need as a condition of a contract such as buildings insurance as a requirement of your mortgage. Others are sensible to take out such as travel insurance and cyber insurance.
