What is a surety bond in Iowa?
A surety bond is a three-party contract between an obligee, a principal, and a surety:
- Obligee: The party that requires the bond
- Principal: The party that purchases the bond and abides by its terms
- Surety: The company that issues the bond and backs it financially
How much does an Iowa 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 Iowa. Many professions that require state, county, or city licenses to work or practice will also require surety bonds.
Here are some examples:
- You may need construction bonds to work as a contractor.
- You may need a license or permit bond to operate a professional business.
- Or you may need a court bond to fulfill your duties as a fiduciary.
