What is a surety bond?

A surety bond is a contract among at least three parties:

  • The obligee – the party who is the recipient of an obligation (The party requesting that you get the bond),
  • The principal – the primary party who will be performing the contractual obligation (you),
  • The surety – who assures the obligee that the principal can perform the task (the insurance company).

Why would you need a bond?

A bond is usually required by a government entity to obtain a license or may be required by a written contract with a vendor or customer.   Why do they want a bond?  Well, they are requesting the bond because they want a financial guarantee, that you will complete the work  required by the contract, or that you will be financially responsible and not steal the money or fail to remit tax money, you collected, that is due to the state.   Sometimes, a bond requirement is used to make sure that the person or company that they are working with is trustworthy and operates their business with integrity and financially responsible.  The bonding company evaluates the business based on financials, experience and previous claims or judgments, those who don’t fair positively are less likely to get a bond approved or if they do it will be costly or require full collateral.

How is a bond different from insurance?

Bonds differ from insurance because the bonding company does not expect to pay claims.

If the bonding company does pay a claim they in turn go to the principal (you) to indemnify or reimburse them for the amount they had to pay.
