What is a surety bond in Indiana?
A surety bond is a contract between three parties: 1) the obligee that requires the bond, 2) the principal who purchases the bond, and 3) the surety that issues the bond.
How much does an Indiana surety bond 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 1-10%.
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 Indiana. Many professions that require state, county, or city licenses to work or practice will also require surety bonds.
