Bonded and insured - what does it mean in reality?

I've heard that he asked several times before. Maybe you have even asked it yourself, but what bonded and insured really mean? Why you should ask vendors about this topic? This is really important?

First, I will explain what each means. Then, I will go into detail about what is important to these conditions.

There are only three types of bonds available. The first is the bail bond. This only applies to people who are trying to get out of prison, and therefore it does not apply to contract with the seller. The second is an employee dishonesty bond, or surety bond also called. The third is to ensure performance. Often used by the contractors to ensure their services.

I will skip discussing bail bond.

issued employee dishonesty bond, or surety bond by the insured to guard against theft. The issue of these in varying amounts. The most common is $ 5,000. I will use an example of how this would work. Let's say you hire a contractor to work on your home. In the process of working on your home, I noticed that some of your jewelry is missing. You can call the police and the bonding company. After investigation, it was determined that the contractor took your jewelry.

bonding company will then notify you that they will grant jewelry prices, or the maximum amount of covered bonds. Bonding company will wait for the conviction of the person who took your jewelry. If the officer decides that your jewelry is worth $ 6,000 and is a surety bond for $ 5,000, and will give you $ 5,000 because this is the maximum amount of covered bonds. There are conditions for it. The company will only award correlation value if you are not recover this item. The bonding company will award only after court conviction takes place.

The price for the construction of your home is $ 250,000. You can issue a surety bond for the project you expense of the contractor. This would cover you if the contractor tried to leave before the project is completed. Or if the contractor does not meet its obligations agreed upon in the contract. If you go through a bank to get your house built, they will most likely require that the bonds are issued to them, as they will be the greatest exposure to loss. Performance can be taken out bonds on a variety of things, but most often used in construction or contracting business.

speaks as an owner of the guard company, and there are things more important than bonds. There are many companies that cover theft internally. In other words, they have a policy on theft and cover the losses themselves, given the size of their companies. If it comes to theft, and simply ask up front and said, "What is your policy on employee theft?" Do you also want to ask about the background checks on employees. If a company is willing to cover the theft internally, you can be sure that they will be used to search for criminal background inaccurate.

As far as the matter of insurance, insurance that are referred to the so-called insurance on commercial general liability. This insurance provides coverage for a variety of things. Some of the things covered are: damage to your premise, personal injury, and complete products or processes (workmanship). I will break down each of these for further clarification.

The insurance company then sends adjuster to assess the damage. Once the damage figure is established, the insurance company call you back about compensation for the damages that you have.
