Hawaii MMA promoter bonds.

Approved
Most are approved as soon as you apply. One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Hawaii licenses mixed martial arts promoters through the Professional and Vocational Licensing Division of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond under HRS chapter 440E. The bond stands behind the promoter's compliance with the chapter — the conduct of contests, payment of obligations, and the rules governing the events.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State (the obligee). The total aggregate liability under the bond is capped at $10,000. If a promoter violates Chapter 440E and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
The bond runs with your license and continues in force for each biennial renewal. We track it and send renewal notices ahead of expiration so your promoter license stays in good standing.

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 $10,000 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
E-sign & file. Pay online and receive the executed promoter bond ready to file with your Chapter 440E license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
