    Independent Sureties

    What is an independent surety (as opposed to a surety company)?

    An individual surety is a person that is licensed to make surety guarantees. The difference being that a personal surety must back up every bond they write dollar for dollar, a 1:1 ratio. Whereas a corporate surety can write bonds in excess of their assets.

    Does that mean the independent surety has a cap placed on them? Do they have to own the amount that they bond or is this credit based?
