What are Surety Bonds?
Surety bonds guarantee that specific tasks are fulfilled by bringing together three parties in a mutual, legally-binding contract.
Why Do I Need a Surety Bond?
As a business owner, you may need a surety bond to guarantee payment for state sales taxes or utility bills. Or as a contractor, you may need to post a license or permit bond to guarantee your work for licensing requirements with municipalities. Attorneys may have clients that are required to post court bonds such as administrators or executor bonds to guarantee their performance while distributing assets in estate situations. Notary publics are required to post bonds in most states.
How Does a Surety Bond Work?
The principal is the individual or business that purchases the bond to guarantee future work performance. The obligee is the entity that requires the bond. Obligees are typically government agencies working to regulate industries and reduce the likelihood of financial loss. The surety is the insurance company that backs the bond. The surety provides a line of credit in case the principal fails to fulfill the task.
The obligee can make a claim to recover losses if the principal does fail to fulfill the task. If the claim is valid, the insurance company will pay reparation that cannot exceed the bond amount. The underwriters will then expect the principal to reimburse them for any claims paid.
Commercial bonds cover obligations typically required by law, statute or regulation. Types of Commercial Bonds commonly written by LB Bonds include:
• Adjuster Bonds
• Agricultural Dealers Bond
• Court Bonds
