Business services bonds.
$636 flat.
The deepest limit we offer for a larger crew: a $25,000-limit Business Services Bond for a business with 16 or more employees, for a client contract or a commercial relationship that calls for meaningfully more protection than the $5,000 entry tiers. $636 flat — the price you see is the checkout price — and the application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
This is the deepest coverage limit we offer at the 16-or-more-employee tier: a $25,000 Business Services Bond. Like every tier of this product, it covers a loss when an employee of yours steals from a client — not from you — while performing work on the client's premises. Larger clients and higher-value contracts often specify a limit like this one over the smaller $5,000 tiers.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and your client as the protected party for any given job. If an employee is proven to have stolen from a client while performing services you were hired for, the client can make a claim against the bond up to its $25,000 limit.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, it can seek recovery from the employee responsible, not from your business generally. Coverage does not extend to volunteers or 1099 contractors — only your own employees are covered. There is no government statute behind this bond; it exists because clients and their contracts ask for it.
