Understanding Surety Bonds
What Is a Surety Bond?
A surety bond is generally a three-party agreement involving the principal who must obtain the bond, the obligee requiring the bond, and the surety company providing the financial guarantee. Bond requirements vary depending on the license, contract, government agency, business activity, and state involved.
License & Permit Bonds
Often required by state or local authorities before certain businesses or professionals can obtain or maintain a license or permit.
Contract Bonds
May be required for construction or other contractual obligations and can include bid, performance, and payment bonds.
Commercial Bonds
A broad category of bonds used to satisfy various business, regulatory, court, or contractual requirements.
Fidelity Bonds
May provide protection related to certain dishonest acts involving employees or other covered individuals, depending on the bond or coverage selected.
Not Sure Which Bond You Need?
The organization requesting the bond will usually specify the bond type, amount, and required form. If you have a letter, application, contract, licensing requirement, or other document showing the bond requirement, have that information available when applying.
If you're unsure what has been requested, contact The Rite Coverage before starting the application.
Bond availability, eligibility, pricing, underwriting requirements, and issuance vary by bond type, applicant, state, and surety company. Submission of an application does not guarantee approval or issuance of a bond.
