Who does a Professional Club and Promoter Surety Bond protect?
Unlike insurance, which protects you, your home or your business, Professional Club and Promoter Surety Bonds protects the athletes and venue owners and ensures that they will be compensated upon the fulfillment of their contractual agreements. In the event that these contractual obligations are not met, a claim can be filed by the obligee with the surety company for relief. If the claim is valid, the surety will pay up to the penal sum of the bond to resolve the claim. You are then required to reimburse the surety for all monies paid out, including any attorney fees incurred by the surety in the defense of the claim.
Claims can be detrimental to your business. Not only do they cause financial harm, they make it very difficult, if not impossible, to get bonded again.
