A surety bond is basically a contract among three parties that involves paying a debt and promises that requirements will be met. It is most often associated with a financial guarantee.
Surety bonds are often legally required for those working in certain industries, such as construction. Other kinds of surety bonds apply to different commercial enterprises.
A surety bond is a promise to be held liable for the debt, default, or failure of someone else. The obligee (the entity that is protected) requires the principal (the individual or business) to purchase the bond and honor its terms. The surety company will financially back the bond if the terms are violated. If the surety company pays out any claims, the principal must reimburse them.
Construction projects that are bonded by surety tend to have a significantly higher rate of completion and a much lower rate of default than unbonded projects. They also report improved or lowered contractor pricing and increased confidence in the overall quality of work.
