Colorado home food service plan bonds.
From $100.
A home food service plan sells prepaid home food deliveries, and Colorado historically required sellers to bond those prepayments. The state licensing program was repealed in 2018, so a bond today is generally a contractual, lender, or legacy requirement. We price it at 0.5% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum.

What it is and who needs it.
What the home food service plan bond covers
A home food service plan is a prepaid arrangement to deliver food to a buyer’s home over time. Because the buyer pays ahead, a surety bond stands behind the seller’s promise to deliver — protecting consumers if the seller fails to perform.
Colorado previously regulated home food service plan sellers through the Department of Agriculture (formerly under Title 35, Article 35.5, C.R.S.), and that program was repealed effective July 1, 2018. The Department of Agriculture no longer licenses these sellers, so there is no current statewide bond mandate we can point to.
When a Colorado seller is asked for this bond today, it is generally a contractual, lender, or legacy requirement rather than a state license condition. Because there is no statutory figure anymore, you enter whatever amount you were asked for, and we issue from a $100 minimum premium; no credit check up to $100,000.

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 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.
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
Deliver to whoever required it. Submit the executed bond to your contract counterparty, lender, or the agency that asked for it. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
