What Is a Surety Bond and Why Does Your Business Need One?

A surety bond is a three-way agreement between your business, the client you’re working with, and a surety company that guarantees you’ll follow through on your obligations. If you don’t, the surety steps in to cover the loss. It’s not insurance—it’s a guarantee.
From contractors and auto dealers to freight brokers and notaries, many industries require bonding to operate legally. But even if it’s not required, being bonded builds trust. It shows clients you’re reliable and professional—something we at Bond Babes USA believe every business deserves to feel confident about.
