What it is and who needs it.
What the buying service bond actually covers
A buying service or club sells memberships that promise access to discounted goods or services. Georgia's Buying Services article (O.C.G.A. §§ 10-1-590 through 10-1-606) conditions a buying service license on a $25,000 bond (or cash bond) payable to the Governor, for the benefit of members.
The bond is conditioned to pay losses, damages, and expenses that members sustain by reason of any fraudulent misrepresentation or breach of contract by the club — for example, a club that takes membership fees and fails to deliver the promised buying service.
If the operator runs buying-service activity at more than one physical location, a separate $25,000 bond is required for each. We issue each at $125 flat, and no credit check. Georgia’s Buying Services Act also requires a three-day membership cancellation period.

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 $25,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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
File with your license application. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your buying service license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $125 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
