What is reinsurance? Businesses and individuals use many different types of insurance policies to ward off misfortune and financial hardships. Insurance companies which provide coverage are often susceptible to extreme financial risks in case of a catastrophic event. To limit the amount of potential losses, insurance companies use the services of reinsurance companies. These companies act as a partial safety net if a large number of claims must be paid.
