FAQs

  • What's the difference between insurance & a bond?

    Insurance protects your business; a bond protects your client or the public. If you fail to meet your obligations, the bond ensures compensation to the other party.

  • How much does a bond cost?

    Bond premiums are usually a small percentage of the bond amount-often 1-3%, depending on your credit, experience, and the bond type.

  • Do I need good credit to get bonded?

    Strong credit helps, especially for higher bond amounts. But we work with multiple bond companies and can often help even if your credit isn't perfect.

  • Can I get bonded as a new contractor?

    Yes. We'll help you build your bonding profile with small projects, then grow your limits over time as your experience and financials strengthen.

  • How fast can I get a bond?

    Some bonds are issued the same day. For larger contract bonds, allow a few business days. Either way, we make it as fast and painless as possible.
