License bonds are surety bonds that are required to be posted by business owners before they can obtain their license to legally conduct business in their certain field of work. Government agencies at the federal, state, city and county level require surety bonds to be posted in order to ensure businesses abide by all of the laws and regulations that are in place to protect the public. If a bonded business fails to adhere to the laws and regulations and a claim is made, the surety company will cover damages to the consumer up to the posted bond amount. The bonded business must then pay the surety.
License bonds are individually underwritten so the cost can vary. In most cases, the rate will be primarily dependent on the personal credit score of the applicant. Sometimes depending on the type of bond, personal and/or business financials may be required. Customers with good credit scores (generally 680 or higher) could qualify for a rate as low as 1% of the bond amount, and sometimes lower depending on the type of bond.
