Surety Bonds
Understanding Surety Bonds
Surety bonds are for agreements made between a third party and a business owner. The nature is very much similar to insurance, wherein the third-party guarantees the business owner to complete the contract that has been agreed to. Surety Bonds basically assure that both parties fulfill an agreement.
A surety bond is a good way to measure risk-management of potential fraud, malfeasance or employee larceny. By minimizing these risks, both parties can be able to maximize liability coverage whenever the said agreement failed to be fulfilled.
Types of Surety Bonds Available
Generally, there is a very broad array of surety bonds available today. Common types of Surety Bonds are:
- Bid, Performance and Payment Bonds
- Supply or Service Contract Bonds
- Subdivision/Site Improvement Bonds
- License & Permits Bonds
- Court Bonds (e.g. Probate, Guardian, Appeal)
