It is designed to protect not just individual customers but also the corporate customers, seller, government agencies, banks, and other financial institutions.

These bonds are simply the types of commercial sureties. To understand their concepts, you must first take a look on the definition of surety itself. It is a promise to pay made by the guarantor only in a situation where the principal failed to follow the terms and conditions of the agreement.

Hence, there are three people or institutions involved. These are the dealer, public office or department, and the surety company. They are said to be the principal, payee, and guarantor, respectively. The business is primarily liable while the bond provider is secondarily liable. It means that when dealers do not render a service in good faith or has breach the contract, the affected party will be given due compensation of the financial loss upon transacting with them.

If the credit score is high, it is good to go. Otherwise, it will be hard for the business to get one, make legitimate transactions, or close more deals.

There may be the third parties that offer special applications for those with low credit scores. However, this case is very rare. It may not be applicable or perceived as unlawful in other states or countries since federal or local laws may vary from one another.
