Surety Bonds – Guaranteeing Your Promises
What Is A Surety Bond
A bond is a three-party agreement: you (the principal), the obligee requiring the bond (city, state, project owner), and the surety that guarantees your obligation. Unlike insurance, the surety expects reimbursement if it pays a claim. Head Insurance Agency helps businesses in Sherwood, Appleton, and Green Bay secure the right bond quickly and competitively.
Types Of Bonds We Provide
Count on us for license and permit bonds, notary and auto dealer bonds, and construction bonds—bid, performance, and payment. Growing contractors can develop bonding capacity with better rates as financials mature. We also assist with court and miscellaneous bonds when projects or municipalities require them alongside
contractor’s insurance.
Why work with Head Insurance Agency
We access multiple surety markets, helping new and established firms—even with credit challenges—find solutions. For simple license bonds, we can often turn them around quickly; for performance bonds, we’ll guide you through underwriting requirements so you can bid confidently across the Fox Valley.
