Chamberlain Insurance Agency offers bond surety and will protect your company. --- # Bonds ## from Chamberlain Insurance * * * ## Bonds In many lines of business, your word is on the line every day when you make promises to clients. Breaking those promises, whether because of your own issues or problems with people you work with, can negatively impact your business, even causing you to close your doors. Surety bonds were created as a solution for business owners who rely on promises as part of doing business. They back up your word in case something happens and you’re unable to fulfill a contract. Like other bonds, surety bonds are backed by banks, savings and loan institutions, credit unions, finance companies, and insurance carriers. **Surety Bonds in Action** Some of our most frequent purchasers of surety bonds in Portland, Gresham, and Beaverton, Oregon are people in the construction industry. Both large building companies and independent contractors use these bonds. When taking construction jobs, builders and contractors agree to a timeline for the client. However, sometimes delays occur that make it impossible to keep to the schedule. Weather, shipping problems, or subcontractors who don’t show up can all be a disaster. But with a surety bond, if the client takes legal action, the business owner isn’t stuck paying for their inability to meet the contract. Their business isn’t at risk financially to pay for any damages awarded. **Bonds for All Types of Businesses and Professions** Construction professionals aren’t the only ones getting peace of mind from surety bonds.
