Definition of Bond Insurance<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

A surety bond is an agreement or contract between three parties, including the principal (the individual buying the bond), the surety (the company writing the bond), and the obligee (the department that requires the bond). A surety bond is not bought to cover claims. Instead, it provides a financial guarantee or stability to the organization or entity buying it.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How Does Insurance Bond Work?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

A surety bond is like a type of insurance. If a business owner fails to meet the requirements of a bond, like failing to pay a vendor, a claim might be filed against that bond. You can think of an insurance bond as a type of credit to the principal. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

  • License and permit bonds- Some professionals may require these types of bonds to operate legally. For instance, freight brokers, licensed contractors, and auto dealers are a few examples of professionals that may require a license and a permit bond. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Contractor bonds- Businesses or individuals that work on public construction projects are likely to need a contractor bond.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
