Alabama
All types. All states. The very best solutions for your surety bond needs.
An Alabama surety bond is a promise to the obligee that if the principal cannot or does not meet their obligations, the principal or the surety will reimburse the involved obligee in a financial way (or by fulfilling the contract in some other way).
Usually when you buy insurance, it is for you or your business. A surety is a bit different. With a bond, you, the principal, are paying for insurance for the other party, an obligee. You pay for the bond that a surety guarantees and the obligee can file claims against if needed.
Sureties help with both legitimate claims and any false ones. The company acting as surety is on your side and helps with handling any complaints that come up. They also have a responsibility to ensure any authentic claims are paid or otherwise resolved.
