What the LLC bond is

Under BPC §7071.6.5, every contractor licensed as a limited liability company must file a $100,000 employee/worker bond. It protects your employees' wages, fringe benefits, and benefit contributions. It is required in addition to the standard $25,000 license bond.

Stacking the requirements

As an LLC contractor you carry both bonds at once. Many LLCs also need general liability insurance to maintain the license. We place the bonds and route your insurance need to a trusted licensed partner so you can satisfy the full LLC requirement in one conversation.

Bad credit or a prior claim? We place it.

Declined by an instant-issue site does not mean declined everywhere. We shop hard-to-place markets and work with credit challenges. Underwriting still applies.
