An uninsurable risk is one that no insurance company will cover. Examples of things that you cannot insure include market risks (e.g., losses that occur because of price changes, style changes, or new products that make your product obsolete); political risks (e.g., losses from war or government restrictions on trade); some personal risks (such as loss of a job, NOT a decrease in sales at the store); and some risks of operation such as a strike or equipment malfunction.
