Surety Bonds.
A surety bond ensures contract completion in the event of contractor default. A project owner (called an obligee) seeks a contractor (called a principal) to fulfill a contract. The contractor obtains a surety bond from a surety company. If the contractor defaults, the surety company is obligated to find another contractor to complete the contract or compensate the project owner for the financial loss incurred.
Most commonly, surety bonds are known for:
- Assuring the completion of a variety of construction projects; i.e. schools, roads, office buildings, hospitals, etc.
- Facilitating compliance with state laws and regulations.
- Protecting against breach of fiduciary, or government-backed, responsibilities.
- Guaranteeing the payment of contractors.
