Typically used in the construction industry, contract surety bonds protect the Owner (known as the “Obligee” or beneficiary) from financial loss in the event the Contractor (the “Principal”) fails to fulfil their contractual obligations with the Owner. The surety provides its guarantee by co-signing the bonds with the Contractor, to allow the Surety’s financial resources to back the commitment of the Contractor. Similarly, subcontracts can also be bonded, whereby, for example, a specific Subcontractor would be the “Principal” and the General Contractor would be the “Obligee” or beneficiary of the contract surety bonds.
