What it is and who needs it.
What the sales representatives blanket bond covers
A sales representatives blanket bond lets a private business or vocational school cover all of its sales representatives under a single bond, instead of filing a separate bond for each person who solicits or enrolls students. It backs honest conduct by those representatives in their dealings with prospective students.
This form traces back to the prior Private Business and Vocational Schools Act (105 ILCS 425), which the Illinois State Board of Education administered and which conditioned sales-representative permits on a bond — schools could file one blanket bond covering all of their reps. That Act was repealed effective February 1, 2012, when oversight moved to the IBHE.
The current Private Business and Vocational Schools Act of 2012 (105 ILCS 426) does not separately license sales representatives or, on its face, require a sales-representative bond. So treat this as a legacy or holdover requirement — confirm with whoever is asking whether you actually need it before you buy. If you do, pricing starts from $100 — no credit check up to $25,000, and most applicants are approved instantly.

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 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.
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 whoever required it. Submit the executed blanket bond to the authority or counterparty that asked for it. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
