What is a surety bond and how does it work?
A surety bond is a three-party agreement among the principal (you), the obligee (the government agency), and the surety (bond company). It guarantees you will follow laws and regulations. If a valid claim is paid, the surety seeks reimbursement from the principal. A bond protects the public—not the licensee.
