Swedish term or phrase: självrisker
I en balansräkning. Literally it means 'self-insured' - the company has opted to bear the insurance risk (or some of it) themselves. Is it just the 'excess' in English - the amount you agree to pay yourself? Is there another or better commercial expresion in English?
