CenTrust, first called Dade Federal Savings and Loan, was founded in 1934 during the Great Depression and eventually became a stalwart of the South Florida business establishment. By the early 1980s, Miami had a corporate community that any city would envy. The companies were large and growing. They contributed mightily to local causes. They virtually invented a skyline where none existed as late as the early 1980s. CenTrust Bank and David Paul gave huge sums of money and much effort toward founding the New World Symphony in the 1980s. But the local corporate world was shaken badly at that time. In South Florida, home of fragile physical, social and economic climates, big business became an endangered species. Prominent in the downtown skyline were buildings built by financial institutions that had failed or were in serious trouble. By November 1983, CenTrust had losses of $500 million and was headed toward insolvency and federal takeover. David Paul, pledging little more than some real-estate holdings, gained control and quickly remade and personalized the institution. Before long, the company's stock-ticker symbol became DLP, Paul's initials. At the end, as senior managers deserted him, David Paul held the posts of chairman, president, chief executive officer and chief operating officer.
Federated Department Stores was founded in 1929, the same year the stock market crash signified the commencement of the Great Depression, with the merger of Abraham & Straus of Brooklyn, Filene’s of Boston, F&R Lazarus & Co. of Columbus, Ohio and Bloomingdale’s of New York. Recognizing economic sensitivity to the Great Depression and WWII, Federated initially focused its efforts on ground-breaking retail tactics such as accommodating credit policies. In the mid to late 1900’s, Federated shifted its endeavors to growth and development, having increased its stores by 400 percent between 1964 and 1979. Although the company filed for bankruptcy in 1988 because of a failed takeover by Robert Campeau, a Canadian real-estate developer, Federated persevered through the tough times by taking risks and embracing change. While originally being composed of four family-owned department stores in 1929, Federated is now comprised of over 450 stores and is known as one of the leading department store operators in the industry.

A property risk is something that happens to your property. A liability risk is if something happens to you but it is not your fault. An example of personal risk is if you are an athlete and that is how you make your living it would be wise to incer the body part you use the most just in case you injure that part. If you are a runner you will likely incur your legs so if you break them and can no longer run you will get them paid for because you can no longer run. An example of property insurance is if something like an earthquake were to happen you will be insured in the event that your house falls apart. An example of liability risk is if you are driving you car on the street and you get hit by a drunk driver or something where it is not your fault but there is damage

Insurance is a two-way legal agreement between the insurer and the customer. The customer, which may be an individual, business, or other entity, agrees to pay the premiums as required, in exchange for monetary protection from the insurer for any possible substantial loss. Customers usually obtain insurance, not to cover the trivial incidents of life or business, but to cover the potential significant losses which could be a financial hardship for them. The premiums of all customers of the insurance company are pooled together. The insurance applies statistical analysis to determine the chance that a particular event might occur to one of their customers. From this analysis they can determine the premiums which must be collected and the claims which must be paid to keep the insurance company financially profitable. There are many type of insurance including life, property and casualty, car, health, and disability. Each is very specific for what losses then will cover and reimburse (Pareto, n.d.).

Federal Express is an express transportation company, founded in 1973 by Frederick W. Smith. During his college years, he recognized that the United States was becoming a service-oriented economy and needed a reliable, overnight delivery service company. In 1965, as a undergraduate at Yale University, Smith wrote a term paper about the passenger route systems used by most airfreight shippers, which he viewed as economically inadequate. He wrote of the need for shippers to have a system designed specifically for airfreight that could accommodate time-sensitive shipments such as medicines, computer parts and electronics.
