Frequently Asked Questions

What does a contractor license bond cover?

A contractor license bond is a financial guarantee to the state or local authority that you will comply with licensing laws and regulations. If you cause a covered loss, the bond can compensate harmed parties up to the bond amount.

How much contractor bond do I need?

Requirements vary by state and license type — we confirm the exact form and amount for your state. Common amounts range from $5,000 for specialty trades to $100,000 or more for general contractor licenses.

Is a contractor bond the same as contractor insurance?

No. A surety bond protects the public and obligee (licensing authority); general liability insurance protects your business. Most licensing authorities require both.

Most standard amounts are instant-issue. Provide your license type, bond amount required, and basic business information — your bond certificate is typically available the same day.
