A surety bond is an agreement whereby the endorser (usually an insurance company) guarantees to the obligee (usually the client) that the principal (the contractor) will perform the work and fulfill his obligations as described in the contract.

In itself, surety bonds are more of a financial tool than an insurance product. Unlike an insurance contract, a surety bond always involves three parties: the endorser, the beneficiary and the principal debtor.

Contract bonds

They are used to guarantee the performance of contracts and are ideal for :

  • general contractors;
  • subcontractors;
  • service contractors;
  • heavy machinery contractors;
  • suppliers;
  • manufacturers;
  • specialized contractors.

Directors' bonds

They ensure that court-appointed administrators, guardians, committees and executors manage estates with integrity and honesty.

Miscellaneous guarantees

They guarantee compliance with the obligations inherent in the various levels of government. They include surety bonds:

  • licenses and permits;
  • customs and excise duties.

Bonds for lost documents

They are aimed at companies that provide replacement documents in the event of loss, theft or destruction of share and bond certificates issued by a public or private authority or Crown corporation.
