Surety Bonds
A surety bond is an agreement between a surety company and the owner of a project that a contract will be completed.
Contractors and purchasers take out surety bonds through third party bond providers. Most public construction contracts and some private projects require one, so if you’re a construction contractor bidding on a project, there’s a good chance you’ll need a surety bond.
SBA can help you by providing a surety bond guarantee in less than two days.
Explore the links below to learn the basics of surety bonds, why you may need one, and how SBA can help you obtain this important contract assurance.
