Surety Bonds
Insurance that covers
what are Surety bonds?
A Surety Bond is often the best way to absolutely guarantee the performance of a service or that a payment is carried out. It’s essentially an agreement between three parties: the surety, the obligee and the principal. The surety company guarantees that the obligee (the entity requiring the bond) performs a service for the principal (you or your business). It may sound confusing, but an agent will be able to explain it to you in detail.
