About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a $250,000 limit is for

A business services bond reimburses your client when a covered employee steals money or property while working on their premises. It is not required by any Florida statute and there is no state filing — it exists because the person hiring you set a number in a contract. This page is the tier that carries a $250,000 limit for a business with 6 or fewer employees.

Small Florida operators end up here more often than the size of the crew suggests. A two-person team cleaning waterfront homes in Naples or Palm Beach, a concierge or estate-management service with keys and alarm codes, a small crew servicing a portfolio of luxury vacation rentals in the Keys or the Panhandle — the headcount is tiny but the property inside each door is not, and the client's counsel writes the limit against the property, not the payroll. This tier exists precisely for that mismatch.

The mechanics are the same at every limit. The client is the protected party, not you; the surety pays a proven claim and then looks to you for repayment, because surety is a guarantee rather than insurance. Coverage does not extend to volunteers or 1099 contractors, and the tier is banded by headcount — a business that grows past six employees should move to the matching band rather than renew this one unchanged.

Private contractual requirement — not a Florida statuteThere is no Florida statute, licensing board, or state agency behind a business services bond, and nothing to file with the state. The limit is set by whoever asked: a high-value residential or commercial service agreement, an estate or family-office engagement, a property-management contract, or an association vendor packet. Florida community-association work is a common route to a request like this — Fla. Stat. § 718.111(11)(h) requires a condominium association to maintain insurance or fidelity bonding covering all persons who control or disburse association funds, and boards used to that requirement often ask vendors with access to carry their own. The $250,000 amount here is the tier written for a business with 6 or fewer employees; confirm both the limit and the headcount band your contract names.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the $250,000 business services bond?The premium is $632 flat for the six-or-fewer-employee tier, set by our carrier's rate book. It is not a percentage of the limit, and the number you see here is the number at checkout.
Do I pay the $250,000?No. You pay the premium. The $250,000 is the surety's maximum liability to a harmed client — a ceiling on the guarantee, not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How can a $250,000 limit cost so little?Because the tier is written for a business with 6 or fewer employees, and the carrier prices the exposure a crew that size can create — not the headline limit. That is also why the headcount band matters: it is the part of the underwriting that is actually doing the work.
What if I have more than six employees?Then this is not your tier. The bands are the underwriting, and a larger crew is priced separately. Tell us your headcount and the limit your contract names, and we will issue the matching tier.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, so most applicants approve instantly. If a check ever runs on this bond, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
