A surety bond is a promise, backed by a surety company, to a third party such as a state agency, city or project owner, that your business will meet its obligations. Unlike insurance that protects you, a bond protects the party that requires it; if a valid claim is paid, the business is generally expected to repay the surety. Dupuy Insurance helps businesses and contractors in Florida and Texas get the bonds they’re asked for.
