How a surety bond works

A surety bond is a three party agreement between you, the party requiring the bond, and the surety company that backs it. It guarantees you will meet a specific obligation.

What underwriters review

Underwriters look at credit, business financials, and experience. Clean records and clear documentation give you the best chance at a low rate.

Keeping your rate low

Pay attention to the bond amount, the obligee, and your filing accuracy. Matching the requirement exactly the first time avoids re-filing and keeps costs down.
