What is insurance?
Insurance is an economic and legal form of risk management that is primarily used to guard against the risk of contingent loss. Insurance can be loosely defined as equitable transfer of the specific risk of a loss from one entity to another. This is done in exchange to premium and is something of a guarantee small payment to guard against a much large and quite possibly devastating loss to an individual, business, or entity.
Insurance is sold by insurers, or insurance salesmen that sell policies that are tailored to the specifications needed by the consumer and those offered by the seller. Insurance is thought to be a product as it completes a specific purpose when it is needed, just as any other product. Insurance differs from some other products because the price of insurance is based on a severely intricate set of personalized specifications in direct accordance to the area and time in which the insurance is being purchased.
Who needs a salon insurance?
Like any other business, a salon has risks and possible threats that plague its doors every day. A salon is just that, a business, and is liable to any tragedy or disaster that may befall any other business. In the interest of guarding against such disasters and like circumstances, salons need to safe guard against the financial demands of whatever may happen in that business. In fact, unlike some businesses, a salon might be even more liable to punitive and liability suits set against them. Salon businesses involve being very close to the heads of customers with extremely sharp instruments. There is not much else that can spell potential disaster than that. Even the most professional and expert stylists in the business are subject to error. And in the world of hair care, that sort of error can result in the harming of a customer that can, in turn result in the severe legal actions.
No matter what the professional level is of a particular salon, the fact remains that, the more time that goes on, the higher the chance is that a disaster will occur. A slight nip of an ear, the scrapping of a scalp; no matter what the occurrence may be, many consumers are out to sue anyone and everyone that gives them even the slightest cause to.
As a result of this, legal actions most likely be taken no matter how small or how large the instance may be. In cases such as these, a salon can suffer the most severe and devastating occurrences, possibly resulting in legal and punitive damages against the salon. In many cases, a simple accidental cut in a place not intended can ultimately result in the closing of the doors of a number of salons. Even if the salon has a lawyer, the legal and court charges as well as punitive business can be enough to close down any salon.
