Commercial Surety

Surety bonds provide a guarantee of performance and principles of various objectives and duties. Bankers offers two types of surety bonds, commercial and contract.

Commercial Bonds are a classification of bonds that refers to all bonds other than construction contract. Commercial bonds cover obligations typically required by law guaranteeing adherence with applicable codes, statutes, court orders and regulations. Each bond is unique to the circumstances at hand. Examples of commercial bonds include: court, judicial, license/permit and miscellaneous.

Find the Right Commercial Bond for Your Business

Commercial surety bonds are generally required by state laws and statutes, and guarantee some aspect of a principal’s occupation. A contractor license bond, for example, guarantees the contractor will comply with required construction codes.
