- What is a bond?
Claudius du Plooy
Business LawA bond is sought out by a buyer to ensure that the company they've hired to perform work for them will meet their obligations. Bonds are therefore provided in the form of a Letter of Guarantee from the company's bank or from a Surety Company. Buyers can demand bonds at any stage of the working relationship. They are expensive to issue and they require that the bank ask for collateral of some sort in exchange for issuance.
