Why are Surety Bonds needed by businesses?
A: In the simplest terms, a surety bond is a guarantee. What the bond guarantees varies depending on the language of the bond. It is a form of credit, not insurance.
A bond issued by an entity on behalf of a second party, guaranteeing that the second party will fulfill an obligation or series of obligations to a third party. In the event that the obligations are not met, the third party will recover its losses via the bond.
