Bonds

What is a Surety bond and how does it work?
A Surety bond consists of three parties:
  1. The Principal: a person required to file purchase and file a bond
  2. The Surety Company: the insurance company providing the financial guarantee.
  3. The Obligee: the government agency requiring the bond

A Surety bond is a financial guarantee to an interested party (usually a government agency) that a named person or business, the “Principal”, will act in accordance with certain laws. If those terms are broken, the harmed party can make claim on the surety bond to recover their losses. In the case of a paid loss or claim, the “Surety Company" has the right to reimbursement from the principal.
