What is this bond surety
A bond surety is a type of financial guarantee involving three parties: the principal (the person who needs the bond), the obligee (the entity requiring the bond), and the surety (the company providing the bond). It ensures the principal fulfills a contractual obligation or legal requirement. If the principal fails, the surety compensates the obligee.
