What is a general surety bond?

When you accept a job, you are obligated to complete it. A surety bond, or contractor bond, will pay your customer if your business does not complete a job. You can obtain a surety bond for a specified amount from your Western insurance business expert.

Our insurance expertise will benefit your business

Small business contractors and tradespeople can face a wide range of risks. An on-the-job accident can result in a costly liability lawsuit that your business may not be able to recover from financially.

The most important type of insurance you need as an independent contractor is Commercial General Liability. If you were sued, commercial general liability insurance would cover the legal costs to defend the claim against your business in court, as well as costs to cover damages to compensate third parties.
