Think of a surety bond as a line of credit. If you can’t complete a project, the project owner can then tap into that line of credit to finish the project as necessary. Surety bonds are a three-party agreement.
The three parties involved include:
- The surety company supplying the bond
- The obligee; the project owner
- The principal; the contractor, organization or employer providing the work.
