Benefits Of Surety Bonds
Surety bonds are a risk transfer mechanism. The risk of doing business with the principal is shifted from the obligee to the surety company. Federal, state and local governments often require surety bonds to guarantee that business owners and individuals will comply with various laws protecting public funds. For example, license bonds protect the public from business misconduct. Contract bonds protect taxpayers by guaranteeing that projects are completed properly, on time and without liens. Court, public official, government and miscellaneous bonds protect and secure public funds and private interests.
