Frequently asked questions
Common questions about surety & commercial bonds.
How fast can a contractor license bond be issued?
Most standard commercial license and permit bonds can be approved and digitally issued the same business day.
Do I have to pay back the surety company if a claim is paid?
Yes. Unlike insurance, a surety agreement includes an indemnity contract where the principal must reimburse the surety for valid claims paid.
How much does a surety bond cost?
Pricing is a percentage of the total bond amount (typically 1% to 3% annually for applicants with good credit), meaning a $10,000 bond may cost only $100 to $250 per year.
