A bond is not an insurance product like any other, as it involves three parties instead of the usual two. Bonds are always paid for by bonuses and are often mandatory depending on your hiring organization. Surety insurance involves the main debtor, the guarantor and the beneficiary. Just like insurance, bond works as a promise that business will be conducted in a professional and ethical manner — and for many customers, it's an indication of your trustworthiness and reputation as a professional.

Bonds, or surety insurance, are different from regular insurance (and should not be treated as a replacement for a commercial insurance policy) in that they involve three parties and are designed in large part to protect the customer.

Bonds offer financial compensation if a contract is not fulfilled by the company executing a project.
As a business (or main debtor), your surety insurance can provide you with credit and reputation, giving your client the confidence of knowing that they can benefit from financial recourse in the event of a problem or if the contract is not properly fulfilled.
Most federal, municipal, and even private hiring agencies require you to have some form of bond before you can start any work. In fact, a bond guarantees that in the event of a problem, your bond offers financial recourse to the customer.
