Commercial Bonds
Commercial Bonds is an umbrella heading that encompasses thousands of different bond types.

Commercial Bonds are often just called License and Permit Bonds.
Hundreds of businesses and industries are required to purchase Commercial Bonds in order to secure a license or otherwise operate legally in a given state. Entrepreneurs and new business owners will encounter surety bonds before their enterprise can truly get off the ground. Existing business owners have to renew their bonds on an ongoing basis.
These bonds are easier to qualify for and purchase than construction bonds, which are typically attached to enormous, multimillion-dollar projects. Sureties will look at an applicant's credit profile and financial standing, but bond applications can be processed within minutes.
Contract Bond
In construction and development, the broad category of contract bonds is purchased by a contractor to protect the owner of the project from non-performance of their contract. More simply, there are a series of surety bonds that include bid bonds, construction bonds, performance bonds and site improvement bonds that all play a role in protecting project owners and developers from losing money due to contractors not fulfilling their contractual agreements.
If you are building a home, a surety bond can act as a guaranty that protects your financial interests should your contractor fail to complete the job, pay subcontractors, and more.
Court Bond
The term 'court bond' encompasses all the bonds a person may be required to obtain while participating in a lawsuit. Many court proceedings require court bonds before a person tries to file some types of claims or tries to appeal a case. If this person, the principal, fails to compete the task he or she set out to do, the court will likely charge him or her for court costs. In this event the surety obligates the principal to pay such costs.
If you are headed to court soon for any reason, you should look into securing a surety bond for yourself. In the case that something unfortunate was to happen and you were unable to fulfill your intended task, a surety bond would cover any court costs you had incurred.
