A surety bond is a financial guarantee that ensures one party (the principal) fulfills its obligations to another party (the obligee), with a third party (the surety) providing the guarantee. If the principal fails to meet their contractual or legal obligations, the surety compensates the obligee for any losses and may seek reimbursement from the principal.
A surety bond involves three key parties:
Common in construction, these bonds ensure a contractor completes a project as agreed.
Required by government agencies for businesses to operate legally (e.g., auto dealers, electricians, or notaries).
Used in legal proceedings, such as probate or appeal bonds.
Protect businesses from employee dishonesty, fraud, or theft.
Surety bonds provide financial security and trust, ensuring businesses and professionals meet their legal and contractual commitments.
