The first step in understanding how surety bonds are paid is to look at the application process as a whole. To apply for a surety bond you\u2019ll submit a surety bond application with information about your personal and business finances. This information is used to calculate your bond premium. In general, bond premiums range from 1% to 5% of the bond amount for people with good credit and 5% to 15% for those with poor credit.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>When do I pay for a bond?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The majority of bonds must be paid in full before the surety bond is issued; in fact, it\u2019s extremely rare that any bond service will offer a payment plan. It\u2019s important to remember that your payment must clear before the surety bond is written, so choose your payment method wisely! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.performancesuretybonds.com\/surety-bond\/what-is-a-surety-bond\/\">Surety bonds<\/a> do not work like insurance. They\u2019re actually more like a form of credit where the bond underwriter promises to pay expenses on behalf of the principle, who is the person taking out of the bond. The principle must then repay the underwriter in full.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Paying for a renewed surety bond<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Many surety bonds can be renewed to extend the bond coverage period. If your bond is renewable you\u2019ll need to pay the premium for the new coverage term before your existing bond runs out. If you fail to pay the premium before the bond expires you will not be able to renew the bond and will instead have to go through the application process again.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Finding the best deal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Viking Bond Service can help you get the best deal for your surety bond.
