How do I start the process and how do I know what type of bond is right for me?

Determine if you need a Contract Bond or a Commercial Bond by reviewing the descriptions of these two Surety Bond categories below:

A Contract Bond (Bid Bond/Performance & Payment Bond) is issued in support of project you wish to pursue, or that you’ve already acquired with the Obligee. The Obligee is the entity that has, or will, retain your services for completion of the project under a specific Contract or Purchase Order. Continue to the Contract Bond Page to begin this process. If this description doesn’t explain your events, continue to the Commercial Bond Page to begin the process. Review the descriptions of the most frequently requested Commercial Surety Bonds to determine the type of Bond you need.
