About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A telemarketing bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. Commercial telephone sellers reach consumers directly, and Florida wants a financial backstop standing behind the contracts and promises made over the phone.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Florida (the obligee), with consumers as the protected parties. If a seller commits fraud, misrepresentation, breach of contract, or financial failure, a harmed consumer can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and you can't lawfully sell — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $50,000 filing continuous.

Fla. Stat. 501.601–501.626 (Telemarketing Act)The Florida Telemarketing Act (Fla. Stat. 501.601–501.626) requires a commercial telephone seller to post a $50,000 surety bond with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, for the use and benefit of any consumer injured by fraud, misrepresentation, breach of contract, financial failure, or a violation of the Act. A letter of credit or certificate of deposit of equal value may be deposited instead.
