Does the Contractor License Bond protect my business?

The contractor license surety bond is for the protection of the client, such as a homeowner or project developer. This is a guarantee to the public that you will perform the agreed-upon work that is outlined in the contract and that you will provide quality workmanship. If you fail to do so, then the client will have the opportunity to file a claim against the bond. If their claim is found to be valid, then payment will be made so that they can get the work completed.

 

As the principal in the bond agreement, you will be responsible for repaying the amount that is paid out to the obligee, the client. The surety company is not going to absorb the money that is paid out. They will look for you to reimburse them.

 

Having this bond gives people peace of mind when they consider hiring your company to work on a project. In that way, it is beneficial for your business.
