Wisconsin surety bonds have become a regular requirement in the service, construction, transportation and motor vehicle industries.

A surety bond is a contract, and typically, three parties are involved with such a contract. The first party is the surety, which is the brokerage that supplies the bond. The second party is the principal, which is the business or individual applying for and purchasing the bond. The third party is the entity or individual requiring the principal to get the bond. This third party is known as an obligee. The bond is used to insure the obligee, in the event that the obligee suffers a financial loss because of negligence or wrongdoing on the part of the principal.

Some of the most common bonds are purchased by professionals and businesses. A business or professional might need a bond to remain compliant with industry standards, as well as to provide insurance against loss to clients, vendors, contractors, employees, or an employer.
