Bonds are important tools for risk mitigation. But it’s important to know that bonds and insurance are two different types of tools. Bonds are a form of credit in insurance and if claimed, the insured will need to pay back like any other form of credit. It’s usually required by either a government or company as a guarantee that an action will be completed as needed.
A performance bond is one of the requirements when applying for high value contracts. It assures a clients of the promise of due performance and lessens the cost of redoing the work in case the requirements of the client are not met. The value of the bond is usually 10% of the contracts work.
