What type of bond do you need?

There are thousands of different types of bonds. However, the bond you require falls under the category of either commercial surety or contract surety. Select one of the surety categories below to get started on your bond application.

License & Permit Bonds

License and Permit Bonds are a type of commercial surety bond required by federal, state and city departments. If you are applying for a license or permit, acquiring a surety bond may be one of the requirements.

FMCSA ICC Freight Broker Bond

A Freight Broker Bond (BMC-84) is a type of license and permit surety bond that freight brokers and freight forwarders need to purchase before they can get licensed. This is a federal bond required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

Fidelity Bonds

Business Service Bond / Janitorial Bond

This type of bond protects your clients if your employee steals from them. Typically, businesses with employees working at the client’s property, such as a cleaning or landscaping company purchase this policy.

Employee Dishonesty Bond / Commercial Crime Policy

If an employee steals or embezzles from you or your business, you’ll be thankful to have this commercial crime coverage. Please note, most crime policies have a conviction clause, meaning there isn’t a payout on a claim if you don’t prosecute your employee.

ERISA Fidelity Bond

When filing your annual 5500 form or 401(k) plan, your CPA or Pension Administrator may request you secure an ERISA Fidelity Bond. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 went into effect to prevent funds of pension and employee benefit plans from suffering losses due to theft or fraud by the plan administrator.
