More people than you expect. Surety bond requirements are quite common because they protect one party from risks and damages caused by another party. Bonds help to discourage unlawful or unethical behavior, help to regulate sensitive industries, and help victims receive the compensation and justice they deserve. For all these reasons, many formal agreements involved a surety bond requirement. People who are starting their own business may need a surety bond to operate legally. Contractors and construction companies require surety bonds as well, often multiple bonds for each project they work on. Even someone trying to get utility service may need a surety bond. If you’re unsure whether surety bond requirements apply to you (or how they work), rely on Viking Bond Service for help. Our team can provide you with good information about the exact surety bond service you need - free of charge and with no obligation - so that surety bonding issues never hold you back.
Obtaining a surety bond sounds like a confusing and time-consuming hassle, but it doesn’t have to be. A top surety agency like Viking Bond Service goes above and beyond to make obtaining surety bonds simple, fast, and affordable for all. The process begins with an application. A bond application will ask for basic information about the applicant’s background, finances, and business interests. There will also be a credit check, and applicants will need to supply a copy of the surety bond requirements - along with any additional documentation the underwriters ask for. After reviewing the application materials, the surety agency will quote a price for the bond premium. Typically, the cost of a bond is a small percentage of the surety bond’s total value (eg. the total amount the surety agrees to pay out in damages). The exact amount depends on the applicant’s credit. Applicant’s with a low credit score or a blemish on their financial record can take advantage of the bad credit surety bond program from Viking Bond Service. After paying the premium, the bond seeker receives a document proving he or she has met the surety bond requirement. The final part of the process is to keep the bond active, renewed (when necessary), and in good standing.
