Surety Bonds for Bermuda Dunes, Cathedral City, Indio, La Quinta, Palm Springs, Thousand Palms, Coachella CA and Surrounding Areas

Surety bonds are used to provide financial guarantees to interested parties that are involved in business relationships. For example, when a contractor is bidding on a project, and the bid is accepted, they would be required to obtain a surety bond from an insurer. This would provide a financial benefit to the other party (called the obligee) if the contractor (the principal) did not honor the terms of the contract. We can help people find the right surety bonds, and there are essentially four different possibilities.

Contract Surety Bonds

These are the bonds that would apply to the scenario outlined above. A contractor would obtain the bond to protect the interests of the obligee that awarded the project to the principal. There are four different types of contract surety bonds:

  • Bid Bond
  • Performance Bond
  • Payment Bond
  • Maintenance Bond
