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 warehouse bond actually covers
The Agricultural Commodities Commission (LACC) licenses commodity warehouses alongside grain dealers and cotton merchants, under the Department of Agriculture and Forestry. A warehouse license goes to an operator who stores agricultural commodities for the public for payment — issuing receipts that depositors rely on.
The bond is a depositor-protection guarantee: it stands behind the commodities held in your warehouse. If a licensed warehouse cannot deliver back the grain or commodity a depositor stored — through shortage, conversion, or failure — the harmed depositor can recover against the bond. The LACC sizes the amount to your storage capacity.
A note on current law: Louisiana has revised how it protects depositors in recent sessions, using a mix of security, provisional stock insurance, and the Grain and Cotton Indemnity Fund. We will issue the bond the LACC asks you to file — send us your license packet and we will match the amount and form to what the Commission requires today.

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
E-sign & file with the LACC. Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your warehouse license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
