Georgia surety bonds are legally binding agreements between three parties, consisting of a principal who needs the bond, an obligee who requires the principal to have the bond, and a surety company that sells the bond to the principal.

It acts as protection for the obligee that a job will be done correctly and in the manner prescribed by that party. Quite often, government organizations are the obligees that require contractors to purchase bonds as a guarantee of following laws and fulfilling other performance terms of the agreement.

There are a number of different kinds of sureties, including contract bonds, commercial bonds, license and permit bonds, and fidelity bonds. Each of these bonds serves a slightly different purpose, but in general, requires certain actions to be fulfilled and regulations to be adhered to.
