Hawaii requires a mixed martial arts promoter to post a $10,000 bond under HRS chapter 440E as a condition of the promoter license. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every promoter. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your promoter license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, owner information, effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
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.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
