How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond ensures that contractors fulfill all their obligations to their clients and follow the standards and regulations set by the obligee (Desoto County). If a contractor’s work is faulty or insufficient, clients can submit a claim to receive compensation for damages. The surety initially pays out approved claims, but contractors must later repay them up to the full bond amount.
You don’t have to pay the full bond to obtain your contractor license bond. Instead, you’ll pay a premium, which is a small percentage of the bond. ZipBonds offers many contractor bonds for just $100 and can issue them instantly – without pulling credit information.
