Understanding Surety Bonds

  • What does a surety bond represent?

    A surety bond is a legally binding contract among three parties: 


    • the principal (the person or business who needs the bond)
    • the obligee (the entity requiring the bond), 
    • and the surety (the company that guarantees the obligation). 

    It ensures that the principal will fulfill their obligations; if not, the surety covers any losses.

  • What are the 3 C's of surety?

    The 3 C's of surety are Character, Capacity, and Capital:


    • Character: The principal's reputation and history of fulfilling obligations.

    • Capacity: The ability and experience to complete the required task.

    • Capital: Financial strength and resources to support the obligation.
  • What are the risks of a surety bond?

    Risks include financial loss for the surety if a claim is paid, reputational damage for the principal if a bond is forfeited, and delays or penalties for the obligee if a bonded party fails to perform.
