A surety bond is a three-party agreement between you (the principal), the entity requiring the bond (the obligee), and the surety company. The bond guarantees you'll meet your obligations — and protects the obligee financially if you don't.
Most license, permit, and notary bonds can be quoted within minutes and issued the same day. Larger contract bonds (performance, payment, bid) typically take 1–3 business days depending on underwriting.
Surety bond premiums typically run 1%–15% of the bond amount, depending on bond type, your credit, and financials. Many small license bonds are flat-rate (e.g., $50–$200/year). Submit our quote form for an exact rate.
Most license and permit bonds can be issued regardless of credit. Larger contract and court bonds use credit and financials to determine the rate, but we work with carriers across the credit spectrum — including bad-credit programs.
