Florida Prescription Drug Wholesale Distributor Surety Bond

• Due to the risk from the perspective of the bonding company, Florida Prescription Drug Wholesale Distributor Surety Bonds are very carefully underwritten and priced accordingly. Part of the cost of this bond will be the time and effort needed to provide the documentation and information the bonding company will require. In all cases, personal credit, personal financials, and business financials will be required. Of course, we can typically handle all credit types and financial situations — from excellent to poor — as such those terms vary.
• Florida Prescription Drug Wholesale Distributor Surety Bonds can be written for as low as 1% of the bond amount when applicants have good credit (generally 680 FICO or higher), good personal financials, good business financials, and good industry experience. So for example, a $100,000 bond could cost as low as $1,000.

Florida Prescription Drug Wholesale Distributor Surety Bonds are in place to ensure compliance with the requirements of and for wholesale distribution of prescription drugs as set forth in Florida Statutes, Chapter 499, also known as the Florida Drug and Cosmetic Act. The surety bond also guarantees the Principal (distributor) will pay any administrative penalties, fees and costs incurred by the Obligee (DBPR) regarding that permit.

Florida Prescription Drug Wholesale Distributor permits are regulated and administered by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). As required by Florida Statutes, Section 499.012, a surety bond must be submitted before a distributor can operate within the state. The Obligee on the bond is the State of Florida, Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).

Florida Prescription Drug Wholesale Distributor Surety Bonds run continuously from the effective date in full force and effect until one year after the Principal’s distributor permit expires. The bonding company will renew and bill for the bond on an annual basis. The bond may be canceled by the Surety by giving 60 days written notice to the Obligee (DBPR). The Obligee may also terminate the bond by giving 60 days written notice to the Surety.
