Our team of experts is here to help you navigate the ins and outs of surety bonds and guarantees so you can make an informed decision that’s right for you. What are Surety Bonds and Guarantees? Surety bonds and guarantees are financial instruments that provide a guarantee of performance or payment. They are commonly used in the construction industry, but are also required in other industries such as transportation and finance. A surety bond is a three-party agreement between the principal (the party that needs the bond), the obligee (the party that requires the bond), and the surety (the company providing the bond). The surety provides a guarantee to the obligee that the principal will fulfill their obligations. If the principal fails to do so, the surety will step in and pay the obligee. A guarantee is a similar financial instrument that provides a guarantee of payment. The guarantor provides a guarantee to the beneficiary that the payment will be made if the debtor fails to make the payment. Why Do I Need a Surety Bond or Guarantee? You may be required to obtain a surety bond or guarantee for a variety of reasons. Some common reasons include: Meeting legal requirements: Many industries have legal requirements that mandate the use of surety bonds or guarantees. For example, contractors may be required to obtain surety bonds to bid on public projects. Building trust: Obtaining a surety bond or guarantee can help build trust between parties. It shows that the principal is committed to fulfilling their obligations and provides a guarantee to the obligee. Protecting against financial loss: Surety bonds and guarantees provide protection against financial loss for the obligee. If the principal fails to fulfill their obligations, the surety will step in and pay the obligee. How Do I Obtain a Surety Bond or Guarantee?
