What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Maine licenses contract security companies under Title 32, Chapter 93, and 32 M.R.S. §9409 conditions the license on a surety bond. The bond is an honest-conduct guarantee: it is conditioned on the honest conduct of the licensee's business and gives any person injured by an intentional, knowing, reckless, or negligent act of the licensee a direct right of action on the bond.
The amount is set by residency: a $10,000 bond for a resident company and a $50,000 bond for a non-resident company. This page is the resident $10,000 bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of the license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
