Thatโs where Surety Bonds come inโserving as financial guarantees that contractual obligations will be fulfilled.
โก Types of Surety Bonds
- Bid Bonds ๐ผ: Guarantee that the contractor will honour their bid and enter into a contract if awarded.
- Performance Bonds ๐๏ธ: Protect project owners by ensuring the contractor completes the work as agreed.
- Labour & Material Payment Bonds ๐ทโโ๏ธ๐ง: Ensure subcontractors and suppliers are paid, reducing the risk of liens or payment disputes.
