It depends on the type of bond, the company's & possibly its owners' credit history, liquidity, location, type of business, reason for the bond, etc. Bonds are not insurance - they are a promise to pay on your behalf and you must immediately reimburse the bonding company. Not everyone will qualify, and you need to allow at least 3 weeks, provide a fully completed application and your financials to allow your agent the best opportunity to negotiate the best deal for you.
The cost of a surety bond for $2,000,000 can vary depending on the type of bond, the applicant's credit history, and other factors. Generally, the cost is a percentage of the bond amount, typically ranging from 1% to 15%. Therefore, the cost could be anywhere between $20,000 and $300,000. It is recommended to contact a surety bond provider for an accurate quote.
The general rule is 10% of the amount of the bond as the starting point and can be negotiated downward.
Surety Bonds are all based off your individual credit score. So, if you have good credit then your rate will be lower vs. someone who has bad credit.

As a principal at SuretyBonds.com -- one of the nation's leading surety bond producers -- this is a question that I answer frequently. Because you posted in the Cars & Vehicles category, I assume that you need an auto dealer/motor vehicle dealer surety bond for your state. The best way to find out the required amount of your surety bond is to contact your state's government agency that handles licensing and registration for your industry. For example, if you're an auto dealer in Arizona, you'll contact the Arizona Department of Transportation. No matter what type of surety bond you need and what state you'll practice business in, inquiring with the government agency about the required bond amount is always a great place to start. Often, these government agencies will have this information on their websites. Once you know your required bond amount, you can contact a reputable surety bond producer -- such as SuretyBonds.com -- to purchase your bond. The amount you pay for your bond will depend on your credit score, the type of bond you need, the state for which you need the bond and a few other factors.

The biggest difference between a surety bond and insurance is insurance is a two party risk transfer mechanism and a surety bond is a three party agreement. Insurance creates a pool funded by premiums from a large group of people or companies that are exposed to similar risk. Each individual or company contributes premium and any member of the group that suffers a loss has access to the funds in the pool. Insurance companies expect to experience losses. Surety companies on the other hand do not expect to experience any loss. The premium paid to a surety company is to cover the cost of the prequalification or underwriting process. In the event there is a loss, surety companies expect to be reimbursed for their loss. An irrevocable letter of credit is a guarantee issued by a bank to another party covering non performance or nonpayment of an obligation by a contractor. The bank performs no prequalification service for the beneficiary and is primarily concerned the contractor can pay back any funds that may be advanced under the irrevocable letter of credit. Sureties provide a much greater service to an obligee by virtue of the prequalification process and a bond also provides a measure of protection to the contractor against unjust claims.
