How to Get a Surety Bond in Florida

Your Guide to Surety Bonds in Florida

Most people think of beaches, but there are many more interesting facts about this Sunshine State. For example, did you know that Florida is the third-largest state in terms of population? It’s true! The top five industries in Florida include tourism and hospitality, real estate development/construction, agriculture & fisheries production (especially citrus fruit), healthcare, and retail.

Florida is also home to over 100,000 businesses!

With so many different businesses in FL, it’s no question there’s a likely chance that you may need to be bonded.

A surety bond is an agreement between three parties: the surety company, your business, and a third party who needs protection (usually the state). It’s a type of insurance that provides financial security if your business fails to meet its contractual obligations.

A Florida bond is a financial instrument that guarantees the performance of a company or individual when they enter into an agreement with another entity. They can be used by businesses, individuals, and government agencies for many purposes.

There are several types of Florida surety bonds, and the bond type you need will depend on your business. Some bonds are Florida required by the state, but many more are optional. It’s important to understand exactly what required bond is needed for your industry before you apply so that you only have to get one.

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 a Florida 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 bonds required in Florida. 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 a surety bond agreement is that all Principals and the approved Surety insurance company in Florida act as guarantors; however, the bonding company 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?

Whats a surety bond you ask? 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 such as mortgage brokers

When do you need a surety bond?

Surety bonds are a form of performance security or financial guarantee issued by an insurance company. They are required for a variety of financial transactions, from government procurements to import and export. In the United States, bonds have been used since 1749 to guarantee that a party will fulfill its obligations under a contract or agreement.

Florida bonds work as an integral part of any business’s success! Typically a transaction, contract, or professional licensing requirement will indicate if a performance bond, payment bond, contract bond, license and permit bonds, or another type of bond is needed.

What are contract bonds?

The largest category of Florida surety bond is called contractor bonds, or bonds specific to the construction industry. FL contractor bonds are one of the largest markets in the state. Contractor surety bonds more commonly are performance bonds, bid bonds, and payment bonds. Construction bonds account for approximately 70% of all bonds written in the USA.

Required by residential and commercial contractors both big and small, general and across specialty trades. Florida surety bond requirements vary by municipality and ensure the protection of the public and consumers via performance bonds for public projects and various trade bonds.

Can I get a surety bond online?

Yes. At Simpli Surety, we have 1000’s of instant issue surety bonds available to our clients on-demand at low surety bond rates. Our surety bond experts are here to help.

How much does a Surety Bond cost?

If you are looking for surety bond cost, the good news is that it’s not as expensive as most people think. Across the industry, Surety bond costs can range depending on the type and terms of the bond. The fee is calculated, also called the surety bond premium, as a percent of the total coverage needed or bond amount, usually ranging anywhere from 1% to 3%. For instance, straightforward license and permit bonds tend to fall on the lower end of the spectrum even below 1%.

Surety Bond FAQ

What is a surety bond?

A surety bond is an agreement between 3 parties, the principal applying for the bond, the Obligee who benefits from the bond and the Surety, the provider of the bond. A licensed surety agency like Simpli Surety is required to act on behalf of the 3 parties to facilitate the bond issuance.

The bond itself ensures the principal will carry out its obligations to the Obligee that acquires their services, in accordance with the conditions of a contract.

The surety company steps in to financially back the Obligee in the event the principal defaults, violates terms or fails to fulfill its obligation. If the surety pays a claim, it seeks reimbursement from the principal.
