Why It Matters
What Are Surety Bonds and Why Does Your Kentucky Business Need One?
A surety bond is a three-party agreement between the principal (the business or individual required to obtain the bond), the obligee (the entity requiring the bond, often a government agency or project owner), and the surety (the insurance company guaranteeing the principal's performance).
Unlike traditional insurance, a surety bond does not protect the bondholder — it protects the obligee and the public. If the principal fails to meet their obligations, the surety pays the claim and then seeks reimbursement from the principal.
In Kentucky, many professions and business activities require surety bonds as a condition of licensure or contract award. Contractors, auto dealers, mortgage brokers, and many other professionals must maintain active bonds to legally operate in the state.
Diversified Insurance Partners works with multiple bonding companies to find the most competitive rates for your specific bond requirement. Whether you need a small notary bond or a large performance bond for a construction project, we can help.
