Surety Bonds

For those working in certain industries, being “bonded” is either desirable or legally required in order to proceed with a project. Surety bonds provide protection against damages if a contract is not completed as originally agreed upon.

How Does A Surety Bond Work?

A surety bond is a protection that serves as a contract between three parties.

1. The principal, or the professional or business doing the work. They are the one in charge of purchasing the surety bond to guarantee the quality of their work on the project.
2. The obligee is the one for whom the principal is working and who can recover losses if the work is not completed as agreed upon.
3. The surety is the organization that is issuing the bond; it guarantees that the principal will do the agreed upon work as specified. It is wise to rely on a surety that has a history of success in insurance and other financial protection measures to ensure that your contract is robust.

Who Are The Parties Involved In A Surety Bond?

A surety bond is a contract between three parties: the principal (the professional or business doing the work), the obligee (the client), and the surety (the company backing the bond). It ensures the work is completed as agreed. Choosing a trusted surety with a strong financial background adds reliability to the contract.

Who Needs Surety Bonds?

Surety bonds are used in many industries, with government contracts making up a large share. They’re also common in licensing for service businesses to protect consumers. Fields like construction heavily rely on surety bonds for performance, supply, and maintenance guarantees.
