Surety bonds are often required to get licensed, win contracts, or comply with regulations. United Agency of Kentucky helps businesses secure the right bond quickly - without confusion about what's required.
Principal:You, the business or individual needing the bond
Obligee:The entity requiring the bond (state, city, client)
Surety:The company that guarantees the obligation
If a valid claim is made, the surety may pay - but the principal is typically responsible for repayment. Bonds are not insurance for the bonded party; they are a financial guarantee
