Bogle Agency Insurance Can Offer Your Business Many Different Types Of Surety Bonds

There are many different types of surety bonds. The first bonds to explore are contract bonds. There are essentially three different types of contract bonds that Bogle Agency Insurance handles on a regular basis.

Contract Bonds

1) Performance Bonds

Sometimes referred to as a contract bond, the performance bond serves as surety that the terms of a contract will be fulfilled on time.

2) Bid Bonds

According to the terms of the contract upon the winning of the bid, these bonds offer a guarantee that work will begin.

3) Payment Bonds

This particular bond offers assurances that the main contractor will dispense appropriate payments to all subcontractors and vendors.

The purpose of bonds is to take some of the risk or uncertainty away for project owners when contracting help. However, these are not the only types of bonds available through Bogle Agency Insurance.

Other bonds we offer that apply to businesses include the following:

Indemnity Bonds

Indemnity bonds provide assurances that the project will end as scheduled. If the project is not delivered on time and as promised, then the contractor has promised to indemnify the purchaser against losses stemming from the failure to deliver by the prescribed deadline.

License Bonds

These bonds are important because they guarantee that the principal will follow the codes and regulations established by the Obligee (typically a government entity).

Estates – Receivership – Trusts – Etc.

These types of bonds guarantee that the individual or principal will administer the Estate, Receivership, Trust, or Other Types of Stipulations that are outlined in a document.  They normally require the individual to be appointed by the courts.

Fidelity Bonds – Pension Plan Bonds – Erisa Bonds

These bonds protect an individual, business, or organization against financial loss from embezzlement or dishonest acts by an employee or someone else who was given access to the finances. They also protect against other financial or legal losses.

Environmental Bonds

An environmental surety bond is something businesses are becoming increasingly interested in. These bonds are for businesses that are interested in sustainability and pursue environmental precautions throughout the building process.
