What is a Surety Bond?

It is an agreement that involves three parties. It ensures that one party, the client, will receive payment in cases where another party, the contractor, cannot fulfill its' duties. For example, imagine the scenario of a complex commercial construction accepted by a contractor, and the client requires a safety net.

 If the contractor cannot fulfill the contract obligation, the client will suffer financially. Having this will ensure that the client receives the compensation they deserve to mitigate this situation.

What is involved in a Surety Bond?

  • It always involves three parties: the obligee, the principal, and the surety.
  • It ensures that the obligee (the client that receives an obligation) gets reimbursed if the principal (the party that will perform the obligation) fails to meet that obligation.
  • The surety (an insurance company) assumes the obligation if the principal cannot.
  • The amount protected is limited up to the bond's limit.
  • It protects the obligee against losses up to the bond's limit resulting from the principal's failure to perform its obligation or undertaking. Unlike insurance, a loss paid under the surety is fully recoverable from the principal.

Whom does a surety involve??

It always involves three parties:

Obligee: the party (usually an individual/owner) to whom the bond is paid towards in the event of a default;

Principal: the party (usually a contractor/business) on whose obligation is guaranteed; and

Surety: the party (usually an insurance company) that assumes the obligation if the principal cannot.

How do surety bonds work?

Principals act accordingly by specific laws with backing by this facility. It will provide obligees with financial guarantees that contracts and other business deals will complete according to mutual terms. Should the principal not fulfill them, the obligee can claim to recover losses. The surety company then has the right to reimbursement from the principal in the case of a paid loss or claim.

What is the technology currently used in the surety space?

Modern surety transactions are submitted electronically. As a result, we have seen contractors who've been required to provide electronic documents to procure work. In addition, the digital version of the bond is the only acceptable bidding method in some jurisdictions worldwide. However, few companies in Canada offer and deliver an e-bonding platform to facilitate electronic delivery.

What are the benefits of a surety bond?

It can be considered a "cost-effective" way to finance contract security obligations. Unlike banks, a surety provider does not require security like a bank's Letter of Credit (LOC) and does not need cash or other collateral support. This means more cash flow for a company, reducing debt, and leaving more room for additional contracts that requires security. Furthermore, they represent an alternative with a lower interest rate to bank guarantees and no utilization or line fees.
In short, it becomes a good alternative when there are different obligations and parties while managing risk using LOC. In addition, it comes at a cost advantage, leaving borrowing space available for other financial necessities.

How long does a utilization remain valid?

A surety bond will stay valid for the contract duration, usually lasting for a year. It is often extended for a maintenance period for another year after contractual obligations. The maintenance period is extended to protect obligees if any problem arises or something needs to be changed or re-done. It also gives principals time to object to claims over concerns or complaints filed by obligees.
Insurance brokerages like UW Insure Brokers offer the service to provide the application to bonding facilities, advice on wordings, and indemnity negotiation, ensuring adequate capacity required.

What are the Common types of surety bonds?

Two of the most common forms of surety are a contract surety and a commercial surety. The Surety Association of Canada explains the two as the following:

Contract surety -Contract bonds are used primarily in the construction industry. These bonds protect the owner (Obligee) from financial loss if the contractor (Principal) fails to fulfill their contract's terms and conditions.

Commercial surety - Is used to satisfy public bodies, private corporations, and government entities' security requirements and protect against financial risk. In addition, these bonds guarantee that the business or individual will comply with all required legal obligations.

How are commercial surety bonds generally used?

Most of them are used to satisfy federal and provincial courts' security requirements, government bodies, financial institutions, and private corporations. They guarantee that the business or individual will comply with all required legal obligations.
They are protected against monetary loss, fraud, and misrepresentation compensation.
They can be used to assure the performance of non-construction-related contractual obligations, These guarantee is often known as performance bond. For example, companies that supply and install equipment. An organization may require a bond, so the supplier will install the equipment properly and service it.

What are the Industry Licensing Requirements?

It is regulated and issued only by companies, licensed federally or provincially, approved by insurance regulatory bodies. Applicants must demonstrate financial solvency and sufficient strength to meet potential claims obligations. Only firms licensed to sell surety in Canada may become members of the Surety Association of Canada (SAC). UW Insure Brokers has been a member of SAC for years.

How will the principal be granted the surety?

Principals have to show they have good credit and reputation before a surety company will grant them a "guarantee". In addition, surety companies often require principals to show they have the equipment, experience and financial resources to carry out the contractual obligations.

Surety Bonds By Industry


There are various types of bonds; some of the most commonly used in commercial include the following:

Construction and Contract Surety

We work with general contracting, civil road building and projects, sewer and central water systems, any sub-trade, and any construction supplier and/or manufacturer.

What is a contract bond?

To understand a contract bond, commonly referred to as a construction bond, we need to know the nature of a surety. It is an agreement involving three parties and usually serves as protection for the client. For example, a complex commercial project could see significant financial losses if contractors hired to do tasks cannot fulfill their obligation. Therefore, having a safety net (through utilizing a surety bond) will reduce the risk for the owner.

Construction bonds

Surety bonds are essential in the construction industry. They typically come in four types:
  • Governments sometimes require tender or Bid bonds to guarantee that contract bids are made right.
  • Performance bonds ensure the construction work will be completed on time and to the required standard.
  • Payment bonds give financial protection to subcontractors and others who provide services and materials to the construction company.
  • Final bonds - A maintenance supply lien bond is also required from time to time when the project is complete.
