Is a surety bond the same as insurance?

Not exactly. Unlike insurance, a surety bond protects the obligee (not the bondholder) and requires you to repay the surety company if a claim is paid out.

How much do surety bonds cost?

Rates vary based on bond type, required amount, and your credit. Many bonds are available for a flat fee or a small percentage of the bond value.

Can I get a bond with bad credit?

Yes — we have options for clients with less-than-perfect credit and will help you find a bond that fits your situation.

What Is a Surety Bond?

A surety bond is a financial guarantee between three parties: your business (the principal), the entity requiring the bond (the obligee), and the insurance company (the surety). It ensures that you’ll fulfill specific obligations, whether they involve completing a project, complying with a license, or following legal standards.

At Getmannis Insurance Agency, we help local businesses and professionals in Dumas secure the right surety bonds quickly — without hassle or delays.
