Doing business requires many entities, such as, manpower, buildings, machines, vehicles, infrastructure, and so on.

2. Causality Insurance
Causality insurance insures properties against losses. Property insurance and causality insurance differ slightly. The property insurance provides the benefits when the building is destroyed completely. But the causality insurance provides the benefits for all casual losses.
