Three steps. One sitting.
Cultivation licensing is the most heavily regulated tier in Arkansas cannabis; the bond filing shouldn't be the hard part. Here's the entire process:
Apply online
Business details, ownership information, and an effective date, plus consent to a soft credit pull — a soft inquiry only, never a hard one, and it never affects your score. That is the application.
Pay & e-sign
This bond is checkout-priced at $15,025 flat, so it issues the moment you pay — no quote round-trip, no waiting on a review queue.
File with the Commission
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email on the MMC performance-bond form, ready to file. Remember the original must be signed by the principal before filing; a wet-ink original is mailed on request.
What it is and who needs it.
What the cultivation facility bond actually guarantees
Arkansas licenses cultivation facilities under Amendment 98 to the state constitution (the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment of 2016), and the Medical Marijuana Commission's rules require each approved facility to post a $500,000 performance bond with the Commission as obligee. The bond stands behind your continued compliance with Amendment 98, MMC Rules, and Alcoholic Beverage Control Division (ABC) Rules for the one-year license period — including the wind-down requirements of MMC Rules Section IV.14 if the license is not renewed.
If a facility's license is revoked, the bond covers the state's resulting costs on the official form: expenses of retaining a replacement cultivation facility, the cost of ceasing operations at the site (including removal and destruction of remaining marijuana product and cleaning the facility), unpaid ABC penalties, and outstanding taxes, penalties, and interest on any Department of Finance and Administration tax account the facility holds.
It is not insurance for you — the Commission is the only claimant with standing under the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. The license runs in one-year effective periods, and the bond continues alongside it through continuation certificates — we track the term and send renewal notices so your filing never lapses against your license.

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 $500,000 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 the Commission. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email on the MMC performance-bond form, ready to file. Remember the original must be signed by the principal before filing; a wet-ink original is mailed on request.
