How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond ensures that contractors will fulfill all their obligations to clients. By signing the bond agreement, contractors hold that they will abide by all standards and regulations of the obligee (City of Passaic).
Clients can file a claim for damages if a contractor’s work fails to meet any part of the bond agreement. The surety initially pays out approved claims, but contractors must ultimately pay back these claims in full, up to the total bond amount.
To acquire your bond, you’ll pay a percentage of the penal sum, called a premium. ZipBonds can often issue these bonds instantly, with premiums starting at just $100.
