License and Permit Bond Guide 

What Are License & Permit Bonds?

A license and permit bond is a type of surety bond that ensures businesses follow federal, state, and local regulations.

These bonds:

• Protect consumers from fraud or misconduct

• Guarantee compliance with industry laws

• Are often required before a business can legally operate 

How License & Permit Bonds Work

A license bond involves three parties:

• Principal: The business or professional

• Obligee: The government agency requiring the bond

• Surety: The company issuing the bond

If the business violates regulations, a claim can be filed against the bond to cover damages.

Cost of License & Permit Bonds

Many license bonds are issued instantly at ~1% of the bond amount.

Example:

• $10,000 bond → ~$100 premium

Some bonds require underwriting, where pricing depends on:

• Credit score

• Financial history

Even with lower credit, approval is often still possible at a higher rate.
