What the seller bond actually covers
Iowa's Business Opportunity Promotions Act (Iowa Code chapter 523B) regulates the sale of business opportunities — turnkey ventures, distributorships, and similar offerings. The Act is administered by the Iowa Insurance Division's Securities Bureau, and a seller must provide security, typically a surety bond, before doing business in Iowa.
The bond is held for the benefit of purchasers who are damaged by the seller's violation of the Act — for example, misrepresentation in the disclosure document or failure to deliver what was promised. Your disclosure document must name the surety, so purchasers know the bond exists.
The statutory minimum is $15,000, and the administrator may require a larger amount based on factors like how long you have operated, your in-state investment, and your net worth. Enter the figure you were required to post and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
