Surety Bond Programs

Build Your Bonding Capacity. Build Your Success.

Publicly funded projects offer contractors strong opportunities, but only if you’re bonded and ready. Winter-Dent helps contractors of all sizes secure the right surety bond program to win more work and strengthen your reputation.

What Is a Surety Bond?

A surety bond is a financial guarantee that ensures one party will meet its obligations to another. If those obligations aren’t met, the surety company steps in to cover the loss.  Compliance is key.

How Does a Surety Bond Work?

While surety and insurance often sit under the same roof, they are not the same product.  Surety involves three parties, unlike insurance, which involves only two.:

The Principal

Your business, required to post bond, must fulfill a specific obligation.

The Obligee

The project owner or party who requires and is protected by the bond.

The Surety

The third-party company that guarantees the obligations outlined in the bond form and contract.

If your business fails to meet contract terms, the surety company covers the loss and then seeks reimbursement from you. This structure builds trust while ensuring accountability.

Types of Surety Bonds

Winter-Dent works with businesses across industries to secure a full range of bonds, including:

Contract Bonds

Bid bonds, performance and payment bonds for construction projects.

Commercial Bonds

License and permit bonds required for operating in regulated industries from Motor Vehicle Dealers to Grain Warehouses.

Court Bonds

Bonds that meet judicial requirements in litigation and probate matters.
