Surety Bonds
Surety bonds provide protection against a contractor failing to fulfil their obligations under a contract. The reasons for non-performance can vary, but the most common include contractor insolvency or a breakdown in the relationship between the contractor and the employer.
All surety bonds are backed by security, typically in the form of a corporate counter-indemnity from the company or a group of companies. In certain cases, additional security may be required, such as cash deposits, charges over property, or personal guarantees, to fully secure the bond.
