Successful businesses manage their risks by:

 
Identifying what risks their business may face;
 
Determining the cost (albeit most often unknown) to ther business and to themselves personally should such events occur;
 
Decide whether they can take the risk themselves (i.e. self insure) or share it with others (other insureds) through an insurance company (i.e. buy an insurance) at a pre-determined cost (premium);
 
Notwithstanding self-insure or buying an insurance, take all steps necessary to minimize the chance of the damage or loss actually happening.

In return, the business can continue to take business risks (i.e. remain in business) in order to build wealth without fear of being struck down by the first mishappening.

Worst things a business can do to their risk management

 
Ignore risks, even those that are widely known to have affected businesses similar to theirs;
 
Know their risks but gamble that it will never happen to them;
 
Under-insure so to “save” premium. So when a claim arises, they will be “under-compensated”;
 
Buy their insurance but leaves the cover outdated whilst their business changes from day to day.  The end result is either they keep wasting premium on unnecessary cover or leave themselves exposed to uninsured risks;
 
Choose the insurance based on premium only without understanding what actually is being covered or how good is the cover;
 
Not reading their insurance documents - until there is a claim
 
Leave it to the insurance without taking effective measures to minimize the risk.
