Georgia securities dealer bonds.
$250 flat.
Georgia registers securities broker-dealers through the Secretary of State's Securities Division, and under the Georgia Uniform Securities Act the Commissioner can require a $25,000 surety bond, most commonly of a dealer with discretionary authority over client accounts and not enough net capital. Ours is $250 flat.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Georgia's securities laws are administered by the Commissioner of Securities — the Secretary of State — under the Georgia Uniform Securities Act of 2008. O.C.G.A. § 10-5-40 lets the Commissioner set financial requirements for registered broker-dealers, including a surety bond; the Division's rules peg the dealer's bond at $25,000, most commonly required of a dealer with discretionary authority over client assets whose net worth falls under $250,000.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Georgia (the obligee). The bond stands behind your faithful compliance with the Act and with the rules and orders of the Commissioner — investors harmed by a violation can recover against the bond up to its $25,000 limit.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay on file for as long as the Commissioner requires it, so we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

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 the Securities Division. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Secretary of State's Securities Division alongside your broker-dealer registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $250 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.
