British insurance industry

The British insurance industry provides financial protection against various risks, such as accidents, health issues, property damage, and more. It operates through numerous companies that offer different types of insurance, including life, health, auto, and home insurance. Policyholders pay a premium in exchange for coverage; if an insured event occurs, the insurance company compensates them. The industry is heavily regulated to ensure fair practices and consumer protection. By spreading risk across a large pool of insured individuals, the insurance model helps individuals and businesses manage uncertainties and recover from financial losses.
