A Louisiana Surety Bond is a type of financial guarantee that is required in certain situations. It is an agreement between three parties— thobligedee, the principal, and the surety— that protects thobligedee from any financial losses they may incur as a result of the principal’s failure to fulfill their contractual obligations. The surety provides a guarantee to the obliged that the principal will fulfill their obligations and, in the event of a default, the surety will pay the obliged for any losses they have suffered. There are several types of Louisiana Surety Bond, including contractor bonds, license and permit bonds, court bonds, fidelity bonds, and public official bonds.
