What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A business disposal dealer is a Colorado license category for a business that needs to sell vehicles out of its own fleet — rental, utility, or company cars — without operating as a retail dealership. The Auto Industry Division conditions the license on a $50,000 surety bond, the same amount as a full dealer.
The bond is a title-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind clear title on the vehicles you dispose of and your compliance with Colorado's motor vehicle sales laws. It's a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Colorado together with harmed buyers.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Confirm with the Auto Industry Division that the business disposal category fits how you plan to sell — the division can tell you whether this license or a wholesaler license is the right one.
