Bonding Companies are private companies; they do not belong to the government.

An individual pays them to get out of jail, and they promise to make sure that individual is present for court, but the money you pay them goes toward their company (or pockets, depending on how you see it).

How much money do you need to become a bail bondsman?

To become a bail bondsman, you typically need to have a certain amount of money set aside as collateral, which can range from 5,000 to 50,000 depending on the state. This money is used to secure the bonds you will be issuing.


Do you get money back from bail bondsman?

No. When posting bail (bond) you pay a bondsman an amount negotiated usually 10% of the total bail amount. Example $50,000 bail, you pay the bondsman $5,000 then put up co-lateral worth $50,000 and the bondsman is the one to pay the State/Court the balance. If the person on bail forfeits (skips out) on the bail then the collateral becomes property of the bondsman. The original $5,000 is how the bondsman earns his living.


When does the defendant have to pay the money to the bondsman?

The defendant has to pay the bondsman because they are getting the person out of jail based on their word or cash they give the courts. As the defendant, you have to pay them back.


Is bondsman responsible for refunding your money if person to be released is not?

Bondsmen do not return your funds. Bond, or bail, is a sum of money put up to secure a person's appearance in court. Often if a person does not have adequate funds to put up the full amount of bond, a person will hire a bondsman. The bondsman will require the person to pay a small portion of the bond (usually about 10%), and the bondsman will guarantee the appearance for the court, and will put up the full sum of the bond. When the person appears for trial, the bond is returned to the bondsman. The bondsman then retains the percentage collected as payment. If you retained the services of a bondsman instead of posting the full bond, you are not due anything returned when the defendant appears.


Does a bondsman get money back if a person skips court and runs for a long time and then gets caught by the police but the bondsman paid the bond and lost his money - does he then get it back?

No, the bond money was posted to ensure and guarantee the defendant's appearance at subsequent court hearings. The defendant failed to appear and went on the run, becoming a fugitive from justice. Only if the bail bondsman HIMSELF captured and delivered the fugitive to court will the money be returned to him. If the fugitive was captured solely by law enforcement it has no effect on the bond forfeiture.

How does a bondsman make money in the bail bond industry?

A bondsman makes money in the bail bond industry by charging a non-refundable fee, typically around 10 of the total bail amount, to post bail for a defendant. This fee is the bondsman's profit for taking on the financial risk of ensuring the defendant appears in court. If the defendant fails to appear, the bondsman may also collect collateral, such as property or assets, to cover the full bail amount.


How can you get a bail bondsman to work with you if you don't have all the money needed?

You can get a bail bondsman to work with you if you don't have all the money needed by offering up collateral. Collateral such as a home or car can be used to make up the difference of the bond in most cases.
