Surety bonds in Utah
Utah’s rapid construction growth and tech-driven economy lead many businesses to surety bond requirements. A surety bond protects the obligee and the public — if a claim is paid, the bonded Utah business generally repays the surety, so it is not coverage for the business itself.

A surety bond protects the party requiring it (the obligee) and the public — it is not insurance for your business. If a claim is paid, the principal generally repays the surety. Bond requirements and amounts are set by the obligee and vary by license type and jurisdiction. Verify the exact requirement before you buy.
