What Is a Surety Bond, and Why Does It Matter?
Let’s start with the basics: a surety bond is a three-party agreement between:
The Principal – That’s you, the business owner or contractor who needs the bond.
The Obligee – The entity requiring the bond, usually a project owner, client, or government agency.
The Surety – That’s us! NuSure Insurance partners with top-tier surety providers to guarantee your obligations are met.
If the principal fails to fulfill the terms of the contract—whether it’s completing a job, following regulations, or paying suppliers—the surety steps in to make things right. It’s a powerful tool that gives your clients peace of mind and opens doors to bigger opportunities.

Surety Bonds FAQ
A surety bond is a three-party agreement where the surety (usually an insurance company) guarantees that the principal (the bond purchaser) will fulfill their obligations to the obligee (the bond requester). If the principal fails to meet those obligations, the surety steps in.
Surety bonds are often required by government agencies or private entities to protect against financial losses or non-performance. They assure the obligee that the principal will meet their commitments.
The cost of a surety bond varies based on several factors, including the type of bond, coverage amount, the principal’s financial stability, and the surety company’s underwriting standards. Generally, premiums are a percentage of the bond amount.
Surety bonds come in various types, including license and permit bonds, contract bonds (performance and payment bonds), court bonds, fidelity bonds, and miscellaneous bonds. Each type serves different purposes and may be required in specific circumstances.
To secure a surety bond, individuals or businesses typically contact a surety bond producer or agency. The process involves filling out an application, providing financial and business information, and undergoing an underwriting evaluation. Once approved, the bond is issued, allowing the principal to meet their bonding requirements.
