Frequently asked questions
What is a surety bond, and how does it work?
A surety bond is a three-party agreement that guarantees the fulfillment of an obligation. It involves the principal (you), the obligee (who requires the bond), and the surety (the insurance company). If you fail to meet your obligations, the surety may cover the loss and seek repayment from you.
Is a surety bond the same as insurance?
Not exactly. Unlike traditional insurance, a surety bond doesn’t protect your business—it protects the party requiring the bond. If a claim is made, you’re responsible for reimbursing the surety. However, it can be essential for securing licenses and contracts.
How much does a surety bond cost in New Hampshire?
Costs vary based on the bond type, your credit history, and the amount of coverage required. Typically, you’ll pay a small percentage of the bond’s total value—often between 1% and 10%. Segreve & Hall shops multiple carriers to help you find the best rate.
