A surety company underwrites a contractor's capability to perform the contractual obligation. The underwriting process takes a thorough look at the contractor's business operations which includes, but is not limited to, credit history and financial strength of both the contractor and owner(s), experience of all parties involved, equipment, work in progress, banking relationship and management capabilities. Before issuing a bond, the surety underwriter must be satisfied that the contractor in question is capable of completing the project without default.
If the contractor does in turn experience difficulties the surety company may step in to assist the contractor and avoid default or a claim against the bond.
If there is a claim on the bond, the surety company will investigate the claim, review all options and choose the best option and course of action.

With insurance the risk is transferred to the insurance company where as with surety the risk remains with the principal. The surety is providing a guarantee against loss by agreeing to be responsible for the obligation of the principal.

In that case I am confident the obligee would accept a bond from another surety company.
