What is a Bond?

A bond is typically written on paper, signed by both parties. This document includes details like the date, amount due, interest rate, and so on.
A bond is used to cover risks, such as when a business goes bust or someone makes a mistake.
Bonds are often used together with other types of loans, such as mortgages. This means that the borrower has to pay the loan back plus any interest.
Bonds can also be used to raise funds for large projects such as building roads, bridges and hospitals.
When a bond matures, it becomes due. This means that the bond's owner will be paid the principal and any interest.
If a bond does not get paid back, then the lender loses its money.
