What Are Performance Bonds for Service Contracts?

Performance Bonds for Service Contract agreements guarantee that the service provider will deliver the contracted services as agreed. For example, in a multi-year facilities management contract, a performance bond protects the client (the beneficiary) in case the service provider fails to meet obligations—whether through default, insolvency, or poor performance. These bonds give peace of mind to clients, ensuring continuity and compensation if services aren’t provided as promised.

How Do Performance Bonds for Service Contracts Work?

Performance Bonds for Service Contract work by creating a guarantee between the service provider (the principal), the client (the beneficiary), and the surety company (the guarantor). If the service provider fails to perform as agreed, the client can make a claim on the bond. After verification, the surety will pay out up to the bond’s value—typically 10% of the contract amount—to cover losses or hire alternative providers. Nationwide Sureties ensures the bond fits your service contract’s terms precisely, offering seamless protection and compliance.
