📄 What Are Surety Bonds? 📄
You may know business insurance—but surety bonds are different. Contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers are often required to purchase a surety bond to protect a client if contractual obligations aren’t met 👇
How a surety bond works:
A bond is a contract between three parties:
1️⃣ The business performing the work
2️⃣ The client (project owner)
3️⃣ The surety company issuing the bond
If the contractor fails to meet the contract terms, the surety pays the client’s financial loss so the project can be completed. The contractor then typically repays the surety.
Example:
A contractor working on a commercial project is required to carry a contract surety bond. If they fail to fulfill the agreement, the project owner files a claim and the bond covers the damages on the contractor’s behalf.
