A floating policy is an insurance policy that protects against risks associated with commodities that are moving between locations. It essentially covers the risk connected to the movement of goods. A maritime insurance policy is another name for this kind of contract. The word “marine” relates to the fact that it was first intended to encompass commodities delivered by ship, though it has now extended to include goods moved by air and land as well.
A corporation or individual takes on a certain amount of risk while shipping products. The shipper is liable for any losses if the products are lost or harmed in transit. However, the shipper might shift this risk to the insurance provider with a floating policy. Any costs associated with losses or damages sustained during transit will be covered by the policy.
A sort of contract known as a consignment agreement allows one company or person (the consignor) to ship items to another (the consignee) for sale. The consignee agrees to sell the items on the consignor’s behalf and to give the consignor a cut of the proceeds. The consignor keeps ownership of the products up to their sale, and the consignee only pays the consignor for the items that sell.
Outright consignment and guaranteed sale consignment are the two kind of consignment. In an outright consignment, the consignee only agrees to sell the items on the consignor’s behalf without making any sales promises. Until they are sold, the consignor retains ownership of the items, and the consignee is not obligated to pay for any unsold items.
In a guaranteed sale consignment, the consignee promises to sell the items. Although the consignee agrees to pay the consignor for any items that are not sold, the consignor will continue to own the goods until they are sold.
Consignment is not a partnership as a result. A sort of business structure known as a partnership has two or more persons sharing ownership of the company. In a consignment arrangement, the consignee only sells the products on behalf of the consignor, who retains ownership of them until they are sold.
