Surety bonds

Surety bond

A three-party guarantee. The state requires the bond, the business buys it from a surety, and the state can claim against it if the business harms the public.

A surety bond is a three-party guarantee in which a surety backs your promise to follow the rules of a licensed activity, protecting the public if you do not. It is a common condition attached to a state license.

Unlike insurance that protects you, a bond protects the people you serve and the state. If the surety pays a valid claim, you reimburse it, so a clean record and sound finances keep both your premium and your renewals straightforward.
