Surety Bonds

Let’s be clear

Bonds are not insurance policies – they’re guarantees. It is not uncommon for business and contactors to have certain projects bonded to ensure they are completed, no matter what complications may arise. At Heber Insurance, we specialize in providing both large and small businesses with the following bonds:

  • Performance – to guarantee the performance of contractually agreed upon work
  • Bid – guarantees the beginning of work following the winning of a bid
  • Indemnity – guarantees any losses should a party fail to meet deadlines
  • Payment – promises payment to all sub-contractors and vendors
  • License – a bond guaranteed to a state or federal agency

Surety Application Forms

Fidelity Bonds

Employee theft can deliver a striking blow to a business. Surveys have shown that a surprisingly large number of employees have admitted stealing from their employers during the previous year. Fidelity guarantees that the bonded employee(s) will handle their employer's money and property with fidelity. In other words, it guarantees they won't steal.

Janitorial Services Bonds

Do you have clients that provide janitorial services to other business? You know how vulnerable their employees are to employee dishonesty. After all, their employees have access to customers' assets, equipment, supplies and personal elongings. These employees are easy targets for blame. Any customer who finds something missing is likely to suspect those who do the cleaning. The fact is dishonest employees can significantly damage their employer's business.This bond is specifically designed to provide protection for your client's customers. They may have good luck and never have problems with a dishonest employee; but they will rest easier knowing they are covered.

Employee Dishonesty Bonds

Employee Dishonesty Bonds guarantee that the bonded employee(s) will handle their employer's money and property with fidelity. Small companies can be especially hard hit because they can't afford extensive safeguards and do not have the financial capacity to absorb the losses.

Pension Trust (ERISA) Bonds

Pension Plans and profit sharing programs are managed by appointed individuals known as plan fiduciaries. The Pension Reform Act of 1974 states that the fiduciaries of a pension or profit sharing fund are required to post a bond for 10% of the amount of funds handled.
