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 bond actually guarantees
A fulfillment provider is a third party that stores inventory and ships orders on behalf of another business — the kind of operation a remote or out-of-state seller uses to get products to in-state customers. Several states require these providers to register and, in some cases, post a small bond backing that registration.
This bond is a modest $1,000 guarantee standing behind the provider’s registration obligations to the state. The premium is set by our carrier’s rate book at $125 flat, the same for every applicant.
It is a three-party guarantee, not insurance for you: if the provider fails to meet its registration obligations and the state or a protected party is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We track the renewal and notify you 60 and 30 days out.

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 $1,000 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

What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $125 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
