It is no secret that the service sector in the United States is growing. This includes such industries as cleaning and janitorial businesses.  Although surety bonds are not a requirement, having a surety bond can benefit your business. It communicates to customers that you are reputable and trustworthy, because a surety bond guarantees that you will uphold your end of the contract. This gives customers added confidence in your services.
