Commercial Bonds: Many businesses are required to get a commercial bond before they can be legally allowed to do business. This type of bond is usually required if a person needs a professional license to do business.

Court Bonds: Judges may require a person to obtain a court bond in response to a court order. These bonds could be used to ensure that a court order is followed or that a person follows through with a legal document. Either way, the court bond assures the courts that there is some sort of instrument to ensure that the bond holder has some sort of financial safeguard if they fail to comply with any court rulings.

Many businesses are not required to get a fidelity bond but do so anyway as a marketing tactic.
