The bond you need, without the runaround.
Contractor license bonds, bid bonds, performance and payment bonds — issued fast, priced across surety markets, and filed where they need to go. Most license bonds are out the same day.
A surety bond is a three-party promise.
A bond isn't insurance for you — it's a guarantee to someone else that you'll do what you said. Three parties make it work:
The Principal
The business that buys the bond and promises to perform — finish the job, follow the rules, pay who must be paid.
The Obligee
The state board, project owner, or agency that requires the bond as a condition of licensing or the contract.
The Surety
The insurance company that backs your promise — if a valid claim is paid, you reimburse the surety.
Six bonds businesses actually need.
Contractor License Bonds
The $25,000 bond every CSLB-licensed contractor must carry. Fast issuance, competitive rates, and renewal reminders so your license never lapses.
Bid Bonds
Required to bid public and many private projects — they guarantee you’ll honor your bid and provide performance/payment bonds if you win.
Performance Bonds
Guarantees the project gets finished per the contract. Often required on public works and larger commercial jobs.
Payment Bonds
Guarantees your subs and suppliers get paid — usually issued together with a performance bond.
Fidelity Bonds
Protects your business and clients from employee dishonesty — often required for janitorial, home services, and financial work.
License, Permit & DMV Bonds
Auto dealer, notary, contractor permit, and the long tail of state-required bonds — if an agency requires it, we can place it.
