Surety bonds for contractors, licenses and contracts.
A license board, a county or a project owner says you need a bond before you can start. Blue Ridge Insurance helps Central Virginia businesses get license, permit, contract and court bonds placed with the right surety.
A bond protects someone else, not you.
A surety bond is a three-party guarantee. The surety promises the obligee, such as a licensing board or project owner, that you’ll meet your obligations. If you don’t and the surety pays a claim, you’re expected to pay the surety back.
That’s why bonds are underwritten like credit. Many small license and permit bonds are issued quickly with minimal paperwork. Larger contract bonds look at your financial statements, work history and backlog.
