What Is a Surety Bond?

A surety bond is a financial guarantee that protects the public or a project owner if a business fails to meet contractual or legal obligations. A bond involves three parties:

Principal

The business or individual required to obtain the bond.

Obligee

The government agency or entity requiring the bond.

Surety

The insurance company guaranteeing the obligation.

If the terms of the bond are not fulfilled, the surety compensates the obligee up to the bond amount.
