A Performance Guarantee Bond is commonly used in U.S. business transactions where one party needs assurance that another will fulfill their contractual obligations. It serves as a risk management tool, particularly in construction, government contracts, and large commercial projects. The bond provides financial protection to the obligee if the principal fails to perform, with the surety either completing the work or providing compensation. Under U.S. federal and state laws, these bonds must comply with specific regulatory requirements, including the Miller Act for federal projects and state-specific surety regulations.
