Surety Bonds
What is a Surety Bond? A surety bond is a promise to be liable for the debt, default, or failure of another. It is a three-party contract by which one party (the Surety) guarantees the performance or obligations of a second party (the Principal) to a third party (the obligee). However, unlike insurance, a bond requires the Principal to reimburse the Surety for any claims paid against the bond. For more information on Bond vs. Insurance, click here.
For agents eager to grow their book of business among new or existing customers, surety bonds provide a low maintenance revenue stream with a high retention and low loss ratio.
Types of bonds written include but are not limited to Contractor Bid/Performance/Payment, Employee Dishonesty, Janitorial, Municipal/State License and Permit, Notary, Probate, Public Official, Private Detective, Real Estate Brokers, and other miscellaneous bonds.
