Surety Bonds in Mount Prospect & Beyond
Fast, Reliable Bond Solutions for Contractors & Businesses
Surety bonds form a three-party agreement: your business (the principal), the organization requiring the bond (the obligee), and the surety company that guarantees you’ll fulfill your obligation. If the obligation isn’t met, the surety compensates the obligee — and you repay the surety. Unlike insurance, bonds act more like a credit guarantee. Whether you need a license bond to operate legally, a performance bond for a construction job, or a fidelity bond to assure your clients, we make the bonding process smooth, quick, and stress-free.
Common Types of Commercial Bonds We Offer
License & Permit Bonds
Required by government agencies for certain businesses, such as contractors, auto dealers, plumbers, electricians, and other licensed professions. These bonds guarantee compliance with local laws and regulations.
Contractor & Performance Bonds
Guarantee that construction or service contracts will be completed according to agreed terms. Ideal for general contractors, subcontractors, and specialty trades bidding on public or private projects.
Fidelity & Janitorial Bonds
Protect clients from losses due to employee theft or dishonesty. Often used by cleaning companies, home service providers, and businesses with employees working at client sites.
Bid Bonds
Provide assurance to project owners that a contractor’s bid is made in good faith and they will enter the contract if awarded.
Notary Bonds
Required for individuals acting as notaries to ensure faithful performance of notarial duties.
Court & Miscellaneous Bonds
We can also help with court bonds, probate bonds, and other specialty guarantees based on your business needs.
