What is it?

Surety bonds are required to protect the public. They guarantee obligations will be fulfilled, whether its a contract bond guaranteeing a public construction project will be completed, a license bond guaranteeing an auto dealer will abide by the laws or a court bond that guarantees a legal guardian will handle a minor’s finances properly.

 

Why do I need it?

Surety bonds are required to protect the public.  These specific examples are a small overview of the hundreds of surety bonds out there, but they all have one thing in common; they protect the public, not you.
