How Much Does a Contractor License Bond Cost?

Click here if you don't know what a contractor bond is.

The price of a contractor bond is determined by a surety.

A surety is an insurance company that specifically underwrites surety bonds. (Not all insurance companies provide surety bonds.)

Every surety does their own - independent - assessment when providing a rate for a surety bond.

This means every surety's rate - and price - will be different.

And this is how you'll be able to save hundreds of dollars when purchasing the bond you need.

Custom Quote Bonds

Most contractor bonds require a custom rate, quoted by a surety.

This rate is based on:

• Credit of the owner or owners
• Industry and contracting experience of the business
• Prior bond claims if there are any from owners who've been licensed in the past
• Plus the overall landscape of the contracting industry in the state

The rate multiplied by the bond amount is the price you pay.

And because each surety conducts their own independent assessment, the rates they quote can be drastically different.

We've helped contractors save over $400 purchasing their bond.

This is money you can use and pay:

• Application fees
• Examination fees
• Additional insurance costs like liability insurance
• Other fees or costs to get your business up and running
