GA 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 registered dealer to post a $25,000 surety bond — most commonly a dealer exercising discretionary authority over client accounts without the net capital to cover it. Ours is $250 flat, the price you see is the checkout price, and it issues the moment you pay. Any credit screen is a soft pull only — it never affects your score.

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.
