How to Get a Surety Bond in Alabama

Your Guide to Surety Bonds in Alabama

An Alabama surety bond is as common as regular old southern hospitality. You’ll need surety bonds in Alabama if you want to start a business or engage in an activity that requires licensing. Whether it’s HVAC contracting, construction or brokerage or many other activities, the State of Alabama demands proof of financial responsibility before granting licenses for certain professions and trades. A surety bond is one way to provide that.

The most common surety bonds required to conduct business include those for contractors, utility companies, notaries and tax payments. Mortgage brokers, insurance brokers, and freight brokers also need to equip themselves with a surety bond ensuring compliance with municipal and state regulations before they can work on behalf of their clients.

When required, an Alabama surety bond is tied to a performance obligation. The obligation can take various forms whether that be the completion of a construction contract, advance payment to a contractor, or payment guarantees to subcontractors. For construction projects, Alabama contractor bonds are often required by law to protect the interests of the public, consumers, and the company itself. Surety bonds provide assurance the project will be completed on time, of agreed specification, and under the conditions laid out in the contract.

An Alabama Surety bond is often required to ensure a professional obligation as well. There are numerous non-construction or payment-related performance obligations that revolve around licensing, permitting and probate.

At Simpli Surety, we are your hassle-free, cost-friendly direct surety bond provider in New Jersey. No drawn out quote process, our instant issue platform has surety bonds delivered to your inbox in minutes!

What is a surety bond? How does a surety bond work?

It’s a type of contract that safeguards another party from financial loss. In the case of surety bonds, there are three parties:

Principal (the person or business which needs to secure their liability)
Surety (a third party, often an insurance company, who agrees to assume responsibility for the debt and acts as guarantor)
Obligee (the person or business for whom the surety bond is being issued)

To issue an Alabama surety bond, both parties agree to the terms and conditions of a contract that carries an obligation to perform. These are usually written into an agreement that ensures compliance with state laws regarding surety bonds in Alabama. The details covered include:

1) Principal’s ability to perform a service and or repay a debt if necessary

2) Surety’s obligation should they become financially liable because the Principal fails to meet their obligations under the contract

The important thing about surety bonds is that all Principals and the approved Surety insurance company in Alabama act as guarantors; however, the Surety will be responsible for payment due to defaults on contractual agreements under the bond. The bond allows the surety company to seek repayment from the Principal if a claim is valid.

What is a surety bond used for?

Well, it guarantees an agreement between three parties by securing the obligation in that it is used to:

To secure performance on contracts;
Guarantee compliance with contract specifications and standards;
A warranty against defective products;
Secure licensed professionals

In Alabama, there are many industries this applies too.

For example, Alabama is known for its steel industry, one that uses bonds. In addition to being a top metals producer it is also a top producer of new businesses and business owners. These small- to medium-sized companies need the assistance of surety bonds as they start doing work for clients, sign contracts, or launch their businesses.

Aerospace and automotive are big business in AL. In fact, Alabama was named best business climate in the US by Business Facilities ranking report. Alabama’s diverse economy includes chemicals, technology, aeronautics and forestry.

There tends to be a bond need in just about every industry, required or as optional protection.

For instance, straightforward license and permit bonds tend to fall on the lower end of the spectrum even below 1%. While a more complex performance bond for a large construction project that carries a higher risk and bond amount, therefore, the surety bond cost can range higher between 1.5% to 2.5% on average.

Surety bond costs could be higher or lower depending on your surety company, the type of work you are doing, and other factors.
