Additional Bonds We Offer

Many people think of surety bonds as “surety insurance.” But they are not actually a form of insurance. Think of a surety bond as a line of credit. If you can’t complete a project, the project owner can then utilize that line of credit to finish the project as necessary. Surety business bonds are a three-party agreement. The three parties involved include:

  • The surety company supplying the bond
  • The obligee, who is the project owner
  • The principal, which is the contractor, organization or employer providing the work

Before the contractor can begin the job, the project owner may require a surety business bond from a surety company. Some projects will require a surety bond and others may not. Many federal projects or those that cost a certain amount will require a bond, which can be obtained in amounts high enough to cover the entire project.

Types of Surety Business Bonds

Although surety bonds are common in the construction/contracting field, there are many types of bonds that serve many different purposes.

  • License and permit bonds: The obligee, which is often a government agency, requires a bond from the principal. The bond states that all codes and regulations will be followed. For example, a plumber may be required to obtain a license before beginning work. To get a plumber license, you must first secure a license bond, agreeing to adhere to city plumbing code.
  • Public official bond: This bond states that elected or appointed officials will perform the duties they are given. Typical bonded positions include notaries, judges, and treasurers.
  • Probate and other court bonds: If you’re given a certain responsibility as a fiduciary or trustee, a probate bond guarantees you perform honestly and faithfully. Other court bonds include:
    • Administrator
    • Executor
    • Conservator
    • Injunction
    • Release of lien
  • Miscellaneous bonds: These are complicated bonds requiring an experienced underwriter since most involve large risk obligations and include:
    • Utility payment guarantees
    • Union wage and welfare
  • Contract performance bond: This bond guarantees that you will follow all terms and conditions set forth by the contract. Many require advance notice. Types of contract performance bonds include:
