How Arkansas Surety Bonds Work

An Arkansas Surety Bond is a three-party agreement between a principal, an obligee and a surety bond company. The principal is the party who is responsible for the bond obligation. This is typically an Arkansas individual or company who needs a license, permit, or other guarantee running to the state. The party receiving the benefit of the bond is the Obligee. For many Arkansas surety bonds, this is the state of Arkansas or one of their departments. The Surety is a third-party bond company that is providing a financial guarantee of the principal's obligation on the bond. Should the principal default on their obligation, a party can make a claim against the bond.

If a claim is made on an Arkansas surety bond, the Surety will investigate the claim. If they are required to pay the claim, they may seek reimbursement from the principal under the indemnity agreement. Arkansas surety bonds provide a lot of value by allowing a damaged party to collect from a Surety without having to go through what could be a costly procedure of collecting from the principal. As a principal, Arkansas surety bond claims should be avoided.
