What Is a Surety Bond?
A surety bond is a legally binding agreement among three parties:
- Principal (you or your business, who needs the bond)
- Obligee (the entity requiring the bond, such as a government agency)
- Surety (the company guaranteeing the bond)
If you fail to meet your obligations, the surety covers the financial loss up to the bond amount—then you must repay the surety.
