Surety Bond Costs in Missouri
The cost of a bond can vary based on a few different factors, including the type of bond, the amount required, 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 do not need to run your credit. Those bonds can be issued instantly at a flat rate.
