[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/hub-international/surety-bonds) # HUB International Surety Bonds HUB International Surety Bonds Brokerage HUB brokers surety bonds, acting as an intermediary between the contractor buying the bond (principal), the party requiring it (obligee) and the insurance company guaranteeing performance (surety), rather than acting as the surety itself. [1](https://www.hubinternational.com/products/business-insurance/surety-bonds/ "Surety Bonds and Surety Bond Insurance for Businesses") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Surety bonds product page as read 2026-09-23.) ## Issuing Insurer - **Not found in reviewed sources.** The surety bonds page does not name a specific surety company; HUB places bonds with sureties that vary by client and bond type. [1](https://www.hubinternational.com/products/business-insurance/surety-bonds/ "Surety Bonds and Surety Bond Insurance for Businesses") (Scope: Checked the surety bonds page on 2026-09-23; no surety company is disclosed there.) ## Who It’s For - HUB underwrites bond eligibility around what it calls the three C's: character (credit record and business integrity), capacity (skills, experience, equipment and facilities), and capital (financial strength for project costs), and says a surety specialist guides applicants through the required documentation. [1](https://www.hubinternational.com/products/business-insurance/surety-bonds/ "Surety Bonds and Surety Bond Insurance for Businesses") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product-page underwriting-criteria description; the surety, not HUB, makes the final bonding decision.) ## Coverage Features - HUB describes contract surety bonds it arranges as including bid bonds that secure a bid submission, performance bonds that guarantee a project is completed per contract, and payment bonds that guarantee subcontractors, laborers and suppliers are paid, plus other bond types such as wage, warranty, maintenance and lien-release bonds. [1](https://www.hubinternational.com/products/business-insurance/surety-bonds/ "Surety Bonds and Surety Bond Insurance for Businesses") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product-page bond-type descriptions; the issued bond and its terms control an actual claim.) - HUB also arranges commercial surety bonds, which it says are primarily required by government entities, financial institutions and private corporations to guard against fraud, theft or illegal conduct. [1](https://www.hubinternational.com/products/business-insurance/surety-bonds/ "Surety Bonds and Surety Bond Insurance for Businesses") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product-page commercial-surety description.) ## How to Apply - HUB says a surety specialist works with applicants on the documentation and underwriting process needed to obtain a bond, positioning the broker relationship as central to getting bonded.
