About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the business opportunity bond actually covers

Connecticut regulates the sale of business opportunities under the Business Opportunity Investment Act (C.G.S. chapter 672c), administered by the Department of Banking. A business opportunity is generally a package sold to a buyer to start a business, often with claims about income, marketing assistance, or a buy-back guarantee.

A seller who makes certain income/earnings representations or buy-back promises must, under C.G.S. 36b-64, either obtain a surety bond of not less than $50,000 from a company authorized in Connecticut or establish an equivalent trust account at a Connecticut depository. The bond is in favor of the State of Connecticut, and the Banking Commissioner may require a greater amount to protect purchaser-investors.

The bond stands behind your obligations to the buyers you sell to — if a purchaser-investor is harmed by your violation of the Act, they can recover against it. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount required at a flat 3% with no credit check.

C.G.S. 36b-64 (Business Opportunity Investment Act)Connecticut General Statutes 36b-64, part of the Business Opportunity Investment Act (chapter 672c), requires a business opportunity seller who makes certain representations to obtain a surety bond — or establish a trust account — of not less than fifty thousand dollars in favor of the state. The Banking Commissioner may require a greater amount for the protection of purchaser-investors. Registration of the business opportunity itself is governed by C.G.S. 36b-62. Confirm the amount on your registration.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Connecticut business opportunity bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The bond amount itself is at least $50,000 by statute, so the typical premium starts at $1,500 and scales up if the Banking Commissioner requires more. Enter your figure and the quote updates.
When is the bond required? +
Under C.G.S. 36b-64, when a business opportunity seller makes certain representations — such as income or earnings claims or a buy-back promise. Sellers who make those representations must post a $50,000-minimum bond or an equivalent trust account in favor of the state.
Can I use a trust account instead? +
Yes — the statute lets a seller establish a trust account at a licensed Connecticut depository in lieu of the bond. A surety bond is usually cheaper, since you pay the 3% premium rather than tying up $50,000 or more in cash.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the business opportunity bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
Where do I file it? +
With the Connecticut Department of Banking, Securities and Business Investments Division, alongside your business opportunity registration. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
