The real question is not the cost, but can you qualify for the bond. This applies to cotract performance bonds. If you are referring to permit bonds they are easy to get and cost about $100. However, do not confuse the difference between bonding and insurance. Wth a bond you will agree to repay the bonding company if they incurr any expense or pay any claim from the bond. On an insurance claim you do not repay the insurance company if they pay a claim on your policy unless you have a deductible.

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.

Bonding is not insurance. If you provide service to a client, and steal from them, and are convicted of the crime, the bonding company will pay back the client for your theft. Then you must pay the bonding company back for the amount of the payment, plus interest. So, what does bonding do for you - NOTHING. For your client - insures they'll get payment if you steal from them and are convicted of it, after a couple year delay. They could take you to court instead and save the hassle - but that doesn't insure that they get paid even if they win. A: You need to go to a local, independent agent, who can get you started on the bond underwriting process.
