Alabama Surety Bond Types
Similar to other states, business owners in Alabama must often purchase a surety bond for their business. Cost of the bond and bond face value amounts vary widely depending on the industry and the bonded business owners credit scores and financial statements.
A surety bond is essentially an additional guarantee that the bonded company will adhere to its state and local regulations regarding good business practices. The bond is put in place to protect consumers and the government from fraud, misappropriation of funds, or unethical behavior on the part of the business. If an individual or company files a claim against the bond and the claim is validated, the surety bond company then steps in to ensure that the bonded business either resolves the issue associated with the claim or pays the wronged party up to full face value of the bond.
