How much does a surety bond in Hawaii cost?
The cost of a bond can vary based on a few different factors, including the type of bond, the amount required, and your credit score and finances. Your bond premium will be a small percentage of the total bond amount – typically 1-3%.
Generally, the stronger your credit score, the lower your rate will be. In some cases, however, we don’t even need to run your credit. Some bonds can be issued instantly at a flat rate.
How do I know which bond I need?
Various businesses, contractors, and other professionals will need surety bonds to operate legally in Hawaii. Many professions that require state, county, or city licenses will also require surety bonds. Here are some examples:
