What is a Surety Bond?
A surety bond is an agreement of compliance, payment or realisation of a deed. We define it as a special type of insurance between a principal (you – a party that buys a bond), a surety (an insurance company that guarantees that the act will be performed) and an obligee (a party-beneficiary of the bond – often a local or federal governement).
How much will I have to pay for the Bond?
This depends: there are bonds with fixed cost, regardless of the applicant. There are also bonds that take under consideration the risk associated with them, as well as a personal credit of principal (you).
Generally speaking the price (premium) of a bond is set as a percentage of the bond amount (also known as: bond limit or penalty).
