Surety Bonds
Contract, license, court, and fidelity bonds backed by our surety markets — helping Mississippi contractors and businesses meet every bonding requirement without slowing the project down.
Start my quoteA surety bond is a guarantee. It promises an obligee — a project owner, licensing board, or court — that you'll fulfill an obligation, and if you don't, the surety steps in to make it right. Bonds are about credibility: they're how strangers trust you with their money, their building, or their compliance.
We place bonds through our surety markets for Mississippi contractors, businesses, and individuals — from the license bond you need to open your doors to the bid, performance, and payment bonds that win and keep construction work across the state.
Bonds we place
The bond types, one by one.
Bid bonds
Guarantees to a project owner that your bid is made in good faith and that you'll enter the contract and provide performance and payment bonds if awarded.
Payment bonds
Guarantees that your subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers get paid on the project — protecting the owner from liens and protecting your supply chain.
Court & fiduciary bonds
Judicial bonds required by courts — executor, guardian, trustee, and appeal bonds — as well as fidelity bonds that protect businesses from employee dishonesty.
Worth knowing
Details that make the difference.
Bonding is financial underwriting
Unlike insurance, surety underwriting looks at your credit, financial statements, experience, and character. Strong financials earn larger bond capacity and better rates.
Indemnity is part of the deal
You — not the surety — ultimately repay the surety if a bond pays out. We'll explain the indemnity agreement before you sign anything.
Capacity grows with your track record
Start with the bonds you can get, complete the work cleanly, and your single-project and aggregate capacity grows. We help you build that track record deliberately.
Renewals need lead time
License and permit bonds renew on set schedules. Reaching out before expiration avoids any gap in your licensure or contract eligibility.
