A risk can be defined as an event or circumstance that has a negative effect on your business,
for example, the risk of having equipment or money stolen as a result of poor security procedures. Types
of risk vary from business to business.
You must decide on how much risk you are prepared to take in your business. Some risks may be critical
to your success; however, exposing your business to the wrong types of risk may be harmful.
PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES:
A. PRAYER - Let us inculcate into your mind that lets us recognize God first before all and teachers must be the
one these people who promote the goodness of God A prayer must be done first before classroom discussion for us
to be guided with our Almighty Father.
B. ATTENDANCE - (Teacher must check the attendance of the students for us to be aware whether our students
are attending class or not.)
C. REVIEW OF PAST LESSON - (Before introducing a topic, teachers must allow their students to recap the last
lesson they have discussed. This is also one of the ways to re-evaluate the learning of the students).
D. MOTIVATION - (Teacher must prepare motivation with regards to topic they prepare for them to catch and seek
attention of the learner's).
Risk is an inherent part of being in business. It can be managed and its adverse outcomes can be
mitigated. The greatest challenge for small business owners is to find the proper balance between peace
of mind and profitability. Trying to completely eliminate risk from your business is unrealistic and can be
prohibitively expensive or cause you to institute policies that may be so risk averse that your business
never grows.
When many business owners think about “risk management” it’s usually limited to purchasing standard
insurance protection without much consideration for other ways to protect the business. Risk management
can be very complex, but it doesn’t have to be at first. Get started with a simple, easy to follow plan for
managing and mitigating business risks and if needed expand from there.
Take these steps to put an initial risk management plan into place at your company:

First: identify risks
Some risks are common to most or all businesses. Others are very specific to your business and only you
as the owner can know them. The best way to approach this is to use a standard risks checklist as a start
and then add to it based on your specific expertise. The Small Business Administration provides a Small
Business Insurance and Risk Management guide which addresses potential risks.
Property losses – typically occur from physical damage, loss of use and/or criminal activity.
Business interruption losses – occurs if your business stops selling for some reason (say because
of a fire). In addition to the property losses incurred, the company would not be able to produce
goods and sell them. This “interruption in your business activities” can be protected.
Liability losses – refer to legal liability for damages or injury caused to others by your company.
Key person losses – refer to the costs associated with an important employee or owner becoming
sick, disabled or dying. The impact of a key person loss on a small business can be catastrophic.
Injury to employees – refers to the costs associated with an employee becoming injured while at
work.
Vulnerability is a function of probability – what are the odds that a particular risk will materialize- and cost –
how much does your company stand to lose as a result. The goal of this step is to quantify which risks are
worth worrying about and which ones aren’t. For the ones that are worth worrying about, the question
becomes how affordable is it to protect your company against that risk. If a particular risk has a low
probability of occurring and if it did would cost your company a maximum of $50,000 in losses but it will
cost $45,000 to protect against this risk, it may not be a good use of resources to protect against it.
Contingency planning goes beyond just buying insurance. There are many ways to manage risks:
An effective risk management plan is comprehensive and creative. It goes beyond insurance.
Insurance, however, should not be forgotten or minimized! It is a central part of risk management. Key
types of insurance are:
General liability insurance – Covers expenses related to legal liability for injury to a third
party. Typically covers property damage, bodily injury, medical expenses and the cost of hiring
legal counsel to defend your company.
Product liability insurance – Covers expenses related to legal liability for injury or damage caused
by a defective product. If your company manufactures, distributes or sells products at retail then it
would be wise to obtain product liability insurance.
Professional liability insurance – Similar to product liability insurance, but for services instead of
products. This protects against malpractice, errors and negligence. It is sometimes referred to as

JEYHAN VER., BTVTED 1B, 1st Sem. SY 2018-2019, EVSU COED
“errors and omissions” insurance.
Commercial property insurance – Covers the loss of and damage to business property. Property
losses and business interruption losses discussed in the first step are typically covered by
commercial property insurance.
Risk management plans should be reviewed and updated regular. Taking a few days every six months to
review and update it for the current conditions of your business is a wise investment. This review meeting
should include the owners, department heads and (if warranted) a risk management consultant. Many
times insurance companies – with an eye on reducing payouts on claims – provide hands on advice on
mitigating new risks as they come along. During the update period it would be a good time to reach out to
them as well.
Having a good grasp of risk management for your business will also be important if you plan to raise capital
from investors. It is essential for getting them comfortable with the investment opportunity.
1. Business Interruption
What would happen if a fire or storm caused your facility to be temporarily unusable and forced you to shut
down operations? Small businesses often rely on daily business transactions to turn a profit. To mitigate
the loss of revenues, payroll, temporary rent expenses while your business facilities are being repaired,
Business Interruption insurance can be added to your commercial property policy. This will allow you to
cover the loss of income, maintain payroll and more (varies with each carrier and package).
3. No Legal Adviser
Many new small business owners don’t have the time, money or expertise to evaluate each legal detail of
the contracts being signed. Unfortunately, this can lead to legal oversights which can result in huge legal
fines. Spend a little to have a legal adviser make sure your business is not accepting additional and
unnecessary risk for a small legal fee now.
Many small businesses rely on the expertise of a few individuals. What would happen to day-to-day
operations if one of these crucial employees were unexpectedly injury or lost? Could you cover the cost for

JEYHAN VER., BTVTED 1B, 1st Sem. SY 2018-2019, EVSU COED
a temporary replacement? If your small business is built on the function of certain employees, then Key
Person Insurance can provide you with financial support to cover or replace them so your business can
function smoothly.
Aside from obvious preventative safety measures and training, small business owner may want to consider
utilizing a third-party risk management specialist. These experts can review your exposures, address
inefficiencies in the claims process and help you reduce accident rates for long-term savings.
Property coverage can come in many forms to suit your specific needs, but a typical policy will provide the
replacement cost value for your building, cash value for your business property. Equipment coverage can
replace your machinery. And cyber liability coverage can protect your business from loss of electronic data,
cyber-attack and other internet-based threats.
Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing and controlling threats to an organization's
capital and earnings. These threats, or risks, could stem from a wide variety of sources, including financial
uncertainty, legal liabilities, strategic management errors, accidents and natural disasters. IT security
threats and data-related risks, and the risk management strategies to alleviate them, have become a top
priority for digitized companies. As a result, a risk management plan increasingly includes companies'
processes for identifying and controlling threats to its digital assets, including proprietary corporate data, a
customer's personally identifiable information and intellectual property.

These are the 5 risk management strategies that you can use to manage risk on your project. You’ll
probably find yourself using a combination of techniques, choosing the strategies that best suit the risks on
your project and the skills of your team. However you decide to approach risk, make sure that you log the
action plan in your risk log and keep it up to date with the latest progress towards managing your risks.
Professional liability insurance, also known as errors and omissions (E&O) insurance, covers a business
against negligence claims due to harm that results from mistakes or failure to perform. There is no one-
size-fits-all policy for professional liability insurance. Each industry has its own set of concerns that will be
addressed in a customized policy written for a business.
2. Property insurance.
Whether a business owns or leases its space, property insurance is a must. This insurance covers
equipment, signage, inventory and furniture in the event of a fire, storm or theft. However, mass-destruction
events like floods and earthquakes are generally not covered under standard property insurance policies. If
your area is prone to these issues, check with your insurer to price a separate policy.
Once the first employee has been hired, workers’ compensation insurance should be added to a business’s
insurance policy. This will cover medical treatment, disability and death benefits in the event an employee
is injured or dies as a result of his work with that business. Even if employees are performing seemingly
low-risk work, slip-and-fall injuries or medical conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome could result in a
pricey claim.
4. Home-based businesses.
Many professionals begin their small businesses in their own homes. Unfortunately, homeowner’s policies
don’t cover home-based businesses in the way commercial property insurance does. If you’re operating
your business out of your home, ask your insurer for additional insurance to cover your equipment and
inventory in the event of a problem.
If your business manufactures products for sale on the general market, product liability insurance is a must.
Even a business that takes every measure possible to make sure its products are safe can find itself
named in a lawsuit due to damages caused by one of its products. Product liability insurance works to
protect a business in such a case, with coverage available to be tailored specifically to a specific type of
product.
6. Vehicle insurance.
If company vehicles will be used, those vehicles should be fully insured to protect businesses against
liability if an accident should occur. At the very least, businesses should insure against third-party injury, but
comprehensive insurance will cover that vehicle in an accident, as well. If employees are using their own
cars for business, their own personal insurance will cover them in the event of an accident. One major
exception to this is if they are delivering goods or services for a fee. This includes delivery personnel.

7. Business interruption insurance.
If a disaster or catastrophic event does occur, a business’s operations will likely be interrupted. During this
time, your business will suffer from lost income due to your staff’s inability to work in the office, manufacture
products or make sales calls. This type of insurance is especially applicable to companies that require a
physical location to do business, such as retail stores. Business interruption insurance compensates a
business for its lost income during these events.
By having the right insurance in place, a business can avoid a major financial loss due to a lawsuit or
catastrophic event. Check with your insurer to find out what forms of insurance are advised for your type of
business and put those plans in place as soon as possible.
Life Insurance :
1. Death benefit is the amount of money the insurance company guarantees to the beneficiaries
identified in the policy upon the death of the insured. The insured will choose their desired death
benefit amount based on estimated future needs of surviving heirs. The insurance company will
determine whether there is an insurable interest and if the insured qualifies for the coverage based
on the company's underwriting requirements.
2. Premium payments are set using actuarially based statistics. The insurer will determine the cost of
insurance (COI), or the amount required to cover mortality costs, administrative fees, and other
policy maintenance fees. Other factors that influence the premium are the insured’s age, medical
history, occupational hazards, and personal risk propensity. The insurer will remain obligated to
pay the death benefit if premiums are submitted as required. With term policies, the premium
amount includes the cost of insurance (COI). For permanent or universal policies, the premium
amount consists of the COI and a cash value amount.
3. Cash value of permanent or universal life insurance is a component which serves two purposes. It
is a savings account, which can be used by the policyholder, during the life of the insured, with
cash accumulated on a tax-deferred basis. Some policies may have restrictions on withdrawals
depending on the use of the money withdrawn. The second purpose of the cash value is to offset
the rising cost or to provide insurance as the insured ages.
Life insurance provides a solid financial foundation and serves as a versatile tool for businesses of all sizes.
Organizations can use life insurance as a valuable benefit to attract top talent and build loyalty by helping
employees protect their loved ones. Business owners can use life insurance for additional purposes
including protecting their company, family, partners and key employees from an unexpected death.
Executives typically have higher incomes and often need larger death benefit protection than what is
offered by typical employer-sponsored group benefit programs. By offering your key employees additional
Completed Output in INTRO-TECH 163 Entrepreneurship, Managing Small Business Risk By VILLONES,
JEYHAN VER., BTVTED 1B, 1st Sem. SY 2018-2019, EVSU COED
life insurance benefits, you can make available an increased level of protection that better suits their needs.
In doing so, your organization can set itself apart when it comes to recruiting and retaining top talent.
A company can help key executives purchase additional life insurance through an executive bonus plan.
The executive owns the life insurance policy and pays the premiums, and the company "bonuses" the
executive an amount equal to the premium and tax liabilities. The executive can use the policy’s cash value
to supplement their retirement funds or for other purposes. If they were to die during employment, the
policy’s death benefits would be paid to the insured’s family typically income tax-free.
Succession Planning
A life insurance policy is often the cornerstone of a business’s succession plan. When a business uses life
insurance as the funding vehicle of a buy-sell agreement, the death benefits are used to purchase a
deceased partner’s share of the business from their estate. This can help reduce conflict between all
parties involved and allow the business to keep running smoothly. When used to fund a one-way buy-sell
agreement, the chosen successor can also use the policy’s accumulated cash value as a source of funding
for purchase of the company at owner's retirement.
Estate Equalization
In many family-owned businesses, some family members are actively involved in the company, while
others are not. Splitting a business equally among family members regardless of their involvement can put
family members at odds potentially causing conflicts that interrupt the flow of business. In this scenario, you
can use a life insurance policy as part of your estate plan to provide a death benefit to those family
members who are not involved in the company. The death benefit can be equal to the value of the business
you leave to the family members who are involved and who will likely take over company ownership.
Many companies would falter with the death of a key employee. Lost revenue is only just one adverse
effect that may impact the business. You can use life insurance to protect the company against the risk of a
key employee’s unexpected death. The policy can be structured to provide the company with a death
benefit equal to expected revenue loss and administration costs needed to find a suitable replacement.

Non-life Insurance:
Non-life insurance is a broad category, including on both people and things. Insurance companies and
company-owned agencies typically specialize in one or the other, though individual brokers and brokerages
have the option of dealing in multiple types of coverage. For example, a large brokerage might contain
people specializing in life and disability, group and health plans, auto and homeowner's insurance, or
liability coverage for professionals. Smaller brokerages are more likely to specialize in one or two lines of
business. If your own broker doesn't sell everything you need, you can probably score a referral to another
broker who's got what you want.
1. Coverage on You
Death isn't necessarily the worst thing that could happen to your household. Imagine the effects of a
chronic, debilitating illness or a crippling accident. Not only is your income lost, but you become a financial
liability. Health coverage, disability insurance, critical-illness insurance and many other products provide
protection against these risks. Group plans, through an employer or other organization, can often provide a
comprehensive package of these coverages at less than the cost of buying them separately. If you're in a
professional partnership, "key-person" disability coverage can protect you and your partners if one
becomes unable to work.
Of course, coverage that protects you personally is only part of the picture. Car insurance is mandatory
almost everywhere, and you need coverage on your home as well. Car policies run a wide range. If you
drive an old "beater," a simple liability policy -- to protect other drivers -- is the legal minimum. Policies for
more valuable cars cover damage from collisions, while comprehensive insurance adds theft coverage and
damage from other causes. Homeowner's coverage will pay to rebuild or repair a home after major
damage, though the aftermath of a standout party might not qualify. Specific hazards such as flooding and
natural disasters might require separate coverage.
3. Everything Else
Those major categories of coverage are just the tip of the iceberg. There are lots of specialized types of
non-life coverage. Professional liability is a thriving field, with malpractice insurance for doctors and errors
and omissions coverage or "E&O" for lawyers and insurance agents themselves. Specialized policies cover
risks such as tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes in affected areas. You can purchase policies on a
boat or RV, or your world-class collection of Depression glass. Some companies even offer insurance
against identity theft. Chances are, you can find a policy to cover almost any risk you might face.
