Common questions
Is a surety bond the same as business insurance?
No. A surety bond is generally a three-party agreement among the principal who must obtain the bond, the obligee requiring it, and the surety company. Business insurance primarily protects the policyholder against covered losses, while a surety may seek reimbursement from the principal after paying a valid bond claim.
What information is needed to request a surety bond?
Requirements vary by bond. Common items include the exact bond form, required amount, obligee information, business and owner details, financial information, and information about the license, permit, or contract.
How much does a surety bond cost?
Pricing depends on the bond type and amount, the applicant's qualifications, financial history, experience, and the surety company's underwriting requirements. A completed review is needed before a price can be confirmed.
Does requesting a quote guarantee approval?
No. Bond availability, approval, terms, and pricing are subject to the surety company's underwriting and any requirements imposed by the obligee.
