What is the Seller of Travel Bond?
The Seller of Travel Bond protects the party requesting the surety bond, the Obligee, against any financial losses as a result of poor financial choices, damages, unethical decisions, or a failure to adhere to state and local laws on the part of you, the Principal. By obtaining your process server bond, you are telling the Obligee that you can be trusted and that you stand by your business decisions.
