Alabama's Telemarketing Act (Ala. Code §8-19A-10) requires anyone engaged in commercial telephone solicitation to be licensed by the Attorney General and to post a $50,000 bond. Ours is $1,500 flat — 3% of the bond amount — and the application is five minutes, no credit check.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to submit with your Commercial Telephone Sales License application to the Attorney General. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$50,000 bond × 3% = $1,500, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Alabama's Telemarketing Act (Ala. Code §8-19A-1 et seq.) requires any organization, institution, or person engaged in commercial telephone solicitation to be licensed by the Attorney General's Office. As a financial requirement of that license, §8-19A-10 conditions licensure on a $50,000 bond (or an equivalent letter of credit or certificate of deposit).
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee, conditioned on the licensee's compliance with the Telemarketing Act. If a telemarketer violates the chapter and causes a loss, the harmed party — or the state — can recover against the bond, up to the bond amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The $50,000 is a statutory minimum; some applicants post more. We issue the $50,000 bond at a flat 3% with no credit check, and the bond must stay on file for the life of your telemarketing license.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
