About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Kentucky regulates telephone solicitation under the Telephone Solicitations Act (KRS 367.46951 to 367.46999). A telemarketing company must register with the Office of the Attorney General at least 10 days before commencing business, and the registration requires a $50,000 surety bond under KRS 367.46981, plus a $300 fee.

The bond runs in favor of the Attorney General for the benefit of any person who suffers injury or loss from a violation of the Act. If a telemarketer breaks the Solicitations Act and harms a consumer, that person can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the company repays the surety.

It is not insurance for you — it is a compliance guarantee. The bond must stay active for as long as you are registered to telemarket in Kentucky, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $50,000 filing continuous.

After you buy

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 $50,000 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

File with your registration. Kentucky requires you to register at least 10 days before commencing business. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Attorney General registration statement and $300 fee.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $750 at the $50,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
