Supporting Compliance & Credibility for Florida Businesses

Surety bonds in Florida help businesses meet contractual, licensing, and regulatory requirements while building trust with clients, partners, and government entities. Rather than protecting the business directly, surety bonds guarantee performance, compliance, or payment obligations.

At ClearPalm, we help Florida businesses secure the right surety bonds quickly and clearly—without unnecessary complexity.

Many business opportunities depend on trust and compliance. Surety bonds provide financial assurance that obligations will be met, helping businesses qualify for contracts, licenses, and approvals across Florida.

What Are Surety Bonds in Florida?

Surety bonds in Florida are three-party agreements that guarantee a business will fulfill specific obligations. These parties include:

  • Principal: the business required to obtain the bond
  • Obligee: the entity requiring the bond (such as a government agency or client)
  • Surety: the company that backs the bond and guarantees performance

If the principal fails to meet the bonded obligation, the surety may step in to cover the loss—helping protect the obligee.

In many industries, surety bonds are not optional—they are required to do business.
