SURETY SNAPSHOT

Tailored solutions, powerful results

Surety bonds are one of the most important credit instruments available to support your business. Depending on the situation, these bonds may fulfill contractual obligations, satisfy compliance agreements, and meet statutory requirements. 

Four types of surety bonds:  

Contract bonds: These bonds hold one party in a contractual agreement responsible if the established terms are not met. 

Commercial bonds: Businesses, organizations, and individuals need a commercial bond before the state may recognize them as a business entity. 

Court bonds: This type of bond holds the bonded party financially liable if they fail to act in a court-required manner. These bonds are common in civil cases. 

Fidelity bonds: This type of bond protects businesses and their clients if an employee of that business acts unlawfully. Fidelity bonds are not required, like commercial and court bonds, but can be a great way to manage risk.
