Opting to start a business is more or less taking chances with your investment, sometimes unforeseen events happen in business without prior warning. Entrepreneurs can take precautionary measures against theft, fire accident etc. by opting for insurance. But, there are many other unforeseen events which a business person cannot anticipate.
