Massachusetts Marijuana Establishment Surety Bond
What is a Massachusetts Marijuana Bond?
A Massachusetts Marijuana Surety Bond is a surety bond that a Marijuana Establishment is required to post before it commences business operations.
An establishment surety bond can be written to well-qualified applicants for as low as 1% of the total bond amount with a minimum premium of $100. The cost of a Massachusetts Marijuana Establishment Surety Bond also varies because the bond amount must be equal to the amount of the annual license fee (see fee schedule below) the establishment pays to the Marijuana Regulation Fund. The surety bond is intended to cover for the costs incurred by the destruction of cannabis goods due to a violation of State law or the cessation of the Marijuana Establishment’s operations. The Cannabis Control Commission is the Obligee on the bond; the Commission enforces the laws concerning marijuana establishments and surety bonds.
