What is a Surety Bond?

Surety is a form of financial credit known as a bond guarantee. A surety bond is a promise by a Surety Company to pay one party (the obligee) a certain amount if a second party (the principal) fails to meet some obligation, such as fulfilling the terms of a contract.

For example, a Bond company promises the Owner of a project that the contractor will complete the project based on the terms of the contract. If the contractor fails to complete the project the owner will be paid by the Bond company. The Bond company then has the right to recover it’s losses from the contractor.

The Benefits of Surety Bonds

Surety Bonds are cheaper than traditional Lines Of Credit from a bank. They also free up funds for the contractor to use elsewhere in his business.
