The cost of bonding insurance depends on the amount of insurance you would like to purchase for your business. You can usually get a policy for a couple hundred dollars.


How does one become licensed and bonded for a local delivery service business?

Licensing & Bonding Delivery ServiceQuite often, the terms bonded and insured are very misunderstood. Both involve coverage in case of loss or exposure to risk. Bonding usually refers to a type of surety guarantee that a specific project, service or act will be financially covered if performance is not complete or satisfactory. Insurance on the other hand usually refers to a specific amount of financial coverage for risk to a tangible item, such as car, building or goods that have been shipped. Delivery is a service that requires both bonding and insurance. You will need to secure a bond from a bonding company, assuring that if you fail to deliver a package or if a package is damaged, the bonding company will reimburse your customer for the financial loss. Insurance companies or insurance agencies are both companies that provide bonds. Some specialize in bonding, however, that does not mean that you will receive better pricing or that they have more experience. Before becoming bonded, make sure you talk with your insurance agent or consultant regarding any potential overlaps in protection. You do not need to become bonded if you're already adequately covered by insurance. You may be able to cut costs by reducing insurance coverage and becoming bonded. Make sure you research your options and talk to the appropriate professionals. You will need to contact your local and state governments regarding any licensing requirements that are necessary. Usually general licenses are required to operate a business at the town/city level. Specialized licensing is typically granted by the state.

What's a surety bond?

a form of 'insurance' acquired by a contractor (usually required by an owner or entity engaging the services of a contractor) whereby, if the contractor defaults (i.e. is unable, for whatever reason, to complete the work that it contracted for) the surety will take over the completion of the project, sometimes using the contractor's own forces or, more commonly, engaging the services of another contractor to complete the work. = Answer == Bonding is frequently called ""reverse insurance". Insurance is intended to pay someone for damages by an event that, may or may not have any fault, but is essentially expected to possibly happen, (like a house fire). An insurance company expects to pay some losses - the risk of that loss, to the degree that it is more than the fee/premium charged, is shifted from the insured to the insurance company. Bonding on the other hand, is a way to assure payment (or performance of something) for an event that really should never happen. If payment/performance under a bond must occur, the Bonding Company will try and get paid by the one it bonded. It never agreed there should be or to accept any loss. Hence, along with a fee the company normally gets security/liens/mortgage that it feels is adequate to reimburse it for any amounts it pays. Bonds come in many, frequently specific & independent forms. For example, it is common that a building contractor will have to provide 3 different bonds in many jobs: Bidding, Performance, & Payment. The bid bond assures that if he bids to do a job - wins the bid - and then doesn't agree to to the job as bid, the one who was requesting the bid (and now has to go through the time and expense of redoing it all) gets compensated. The contractor may also have to provide a Performance bond, which basically means if he fails to complete the contract, (walks off the job, etc., ) and the buyer needs to get someone else to do it, there is compensation in the bond amount. This bond may even cover the warrenty period, so there is a way to assure the contractors 10 year guarantee, if say, he's gone then. (Sometimes, instead of paying, the Bonding Company will/must actually step in and hire another contractor to perform). There may be a bond required to assure that payments made to the general Contractor that should be paid to the sub contractors , suppliers or employees, are actually paid to those people. (If the contractor fails to pay a supplier/worker, those people actually have a lien against your property until they are paid, even if you paid the contractor). Hence, a bond is essentially that a large, capable organization (generally an insurance company), agrees that those taking on a responsibility are actually responsible, or the bonding Company will perform in its behalf or compensate....and then get renumeration from the one causing the problem. In most job situations, it means you are considered responsible to be trusted with money, (under what would be expected to be controlled guidelines of your employer). Just being able to be bonded for something, indicating another presumably large/reputable company will stand behind you, is a sign of quality and integrity.A surety bond is a promise to pay one party (the obligee) a certain amount if a second party (the principal) fails to meet some obligation, such as fulfilling the terms of a contract. The surety bond protects the obligee against losses resulting from the principal's failure to meet the obligation.

Why should you be bonded if you have a small business?

The first rule of thumb when you're starting out in business is CYA. Cover Your Assets. Bonding does exactly that. It says that if something goes terribly wrong, the bonding company will pay monetary damages to the other party. For example, if you have a maid service, and one of your maids goes into a home...and breaks a valuable item -- the bonding company will pay. It's like insurance, in some respects.
