How do contractor license bonds work?
A contractor license bond provides clients with the assurance that they’ll receive satisfactory work from contractors. By posting the bond, contractors promise to work by the standards and regulations of their obligee (City of Sylvania).
Clients can file a claim if a contractor fails to meet any component of the agreement. The surety will initially pay out an approved claim, but contractors are responsible for paying back all such claims against them over time.
You’ll pay a premium to acquire your bond, a small percentage of the penal sum. ZipBonds often issues these bonds instantly for premiums starting at just $100.
