Surety Insurance

Offer Clients Peace Of Mind With Contractor Surety Bonds

What is Surety Insurance?

In general, all surety bonds involve three parties. The insurance provider (surety), the contractor (you), and the owner (the business or individual that you will be doing work for). Most surety bonds focus on having the surety guarantee the owner that if you fail to deliver on your contract, the surety will reimburse the owner for any financial losses. Surety bonds can also include guarantees that the contractor will be legally obligated to amend any at-fault issues that eventuate from their work once the job is complete.

As a contractor, it is important to understand the different types of surety bonds and their specific purposes. The most common type is a bid bond, which guarantees that you will enter into a contract if your bid is accepted by the owner. This ensures that the owner does not suffer financially if you back out of the project after being awarded the contract.

Another type of surety bond is a performance bond, which guarantees that you will complete the project according to the terms outlined in your contract.

Surety Insurance FAQ

What Is the Process of Getting a Surety Bond?
The process of getting a surety bond is straightforward. You must first determine the dollar amount you need. Next, you file an application with our company and discuss your premium cost for the bond. After a premium has been determined, we will give you a copy of the bond agreement, and you will be required to pay your premiums. You will receive a signed copy of the agreement and an original copy of the bond with a Power-of-Attorney from the Surety.
Your surety bond cost is determined by the type of bond you require. Each surety bond has its own unique cost structure. However, bonds typically run between 1% and 15% of the bond’s total value. If you work in an industry with elevated risks, such as construction, you may require a higher bond value.
Again, this heavily depends on the type of bond you need. In some cases, the process can be only a few minutes. More complicated bonds can take several days to attain.
Collateral is not typically required, but this depends on the risks and specific circumstances related to the bond you are requesting.
Because of the nature of surety bonds, it’s rare to have a “claim” against them. Surety companies typically have different options to indemnify the contractor if an issue arises.
