Missouri surety bonds come in many varieties and serve several different purposes, but all of them have a similar underlying function.

All bonds are required either as a guarantee of professionalism and business integrity or as a simple condition of doing business within a given region.

Although similar to insurance, there is one key difference between insurance and bonds: who receives protection from each. In the case of insurance, businesses are protected against lawsuits, whereas with surety bonds in Missouri, the financial interests of the consumer are being protected.

Very often, the "consumer" in a surety bond scenario is a government agency, rather than an individual consumer. This can be very important for such agencies, because they would not be able to absorb all the losses that might occur as a result of poor contractor performance.
