What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A commercial co-venturer is a business that runs a charitable sales promotion — advertising that buying its product or service will benefit a named charity. Alabama regulates these promotions under the charitable-solicitation provisions of Code of Ala. § 13A-9-71, administered by the Attorney General.
To register, the co-venturer files a $10,000 bond in which it is the principal obligor. The bond runs to the Attorney General for the use of the state and to any person with a cause of action against the obligor for malfeasance or misfeasance in the conduct of the solicitation — so the public and the benefiting charities have a financial backstop.
Registration runs for one year, expiring September 30, and is renewed by re-filing the bond and fee. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your registration stays current.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with your AG registration. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Attorney General’s registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $150 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
