Performance bond
A performance bond is a
surety bond issued by an
insurance company to guarantee satisfactory completion of a project by a
contractor. For example, a contractor may cause a performance bond to be issued in favor of a client for whom the contractor is constructing a building. If the contractor fails to construct the building according to the specifications laid out by the
contract (most often due to the
bankruptcy of the contractor), the client is guaranteed compensation for any monetary loss up to the amount of the performance bond.
