Guarantees to an employer that in the event a contract is unfinished any payment made in advance of completion can be recovered under the bond.
Bailiff Bonds

Carnets

Court Bonds
Guarantees required by the Courts to provide a guarantee against dishonesty. E.g. receivers appointed by the Court of Protection / Public Guardianship Office.
Duty Deferment Bonds
If you are importing goods into the UK, you may have to pay H M Customs & Excise Duty and VAT at the point of entry. However, you are unlikely to have received payment from your customers at this point, thereby creating potential cash flow issues.
These guarantees cover the payment of Duty & VAT due to H M Customs & Excise which provides them with protection against payment default or company insolvency. The Duty Deferment Guarantee allows for payment of Duty and VAT to be deferred for up to 45 days, which will take you closer to the time when you can expect to be paid by your customers. This is possible because the guarantee protects the interests of H M Customs & Excise for outstanding Duty and VAT in the event of default or your insolvency.
