Most standard bonds are issued the same day - many within minutes of completing the application. Bonds that require underwriting review may take 1-3 business days.
Requirements vary by state and obligee, but most applicants need to complete a short application. Some bonds require a credit check, while others are issued regardless of credit. Business financials or professional experience may be considered for larger bond amounts.
Yes. Many bonds are available regardless of credit history. For bonds that require underwriting, applicants with lower credit scores can still qualify - the premium rate may be higher. We work with multiple carriers to find you the best available rate.
