Idaho surety bonds are regularly used in industries such as construction, insurance and finance.

Due to the important role that bonds play, it is essential to understand what they are and how they work. The bond can become complicated to understand, depending on its specific functions.

There are three parties involved in the bonding process.

  • Principal: The person/business (you) who is required to post the bond.
  • Obligee: The government agency or person that requires the principal (you) to be bonded
  • Surety: The institution that guarantees the obligee that the principal is bonded.

Bonds can be likened to credit as well as insurance. They assure the obligee that you will hold up your end of the deal and protect them from damages if you don't.
