Surety
Project Owner/Obligee Contractor/Principal
How Surety Works:
• Surety guarantees a performance of a contract
• Surety bond promises to pay the obligee in an event that
a principal could not do their obligation/s
• A three party contract. Different from a typical insurance
• Bond is another term for “financial guarantee”
For Principals;
• Acts as a credit line
• Reduces the risk of
participating in a job they
cannot do
Why Surety? For Obligees;
• Guarantees a compensation
when in default
• Confident projects will be
completed
Surety example
A three party contract that guarantees performance

fulfill the terms in the contract Commercial Surety– guarantees the principal to comply
with their required obligations
Types of Surety Bonds
• Bid Bonds
• Performance Bonds
• Maintenance Bonds
• Labour and Payment Bonds
• Fiduciary Bonds
• Fidelity Bonds

• One of the main difference between contract and commercial is that

• Once a claimed has been filed, the insured must provide the
necessary compensation.
• Some insurance are required by law
• To protect taxpayers’ money
• Protection to clients and to the individual
