A managing general agent who underwrites and administers business for an insurer must file a $100,000 bond with the Maine Bureau of Insurance, on the Bureau’s MGA bond form. Ours is $3,000 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount — and license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here’s the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That’s the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives on the Bureau’s MGA bond form, ready to file with your registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$100,000 bond × 3% = $3,000, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A managing general agent (MGA) is a specialized intermediary an insurer authorizes to underwrite, bind, issue, and sometimes administer claims on its behalf — effectively running a book of business as the insurer’s outsourced underwriting arm. Maine’s Bureau of Insurance registers MGAs under Title 24-A and requires a bond standing behind that authority.
The bond is a $100,000 guarantee filed on the Bureau’s MGA bond form, for the benefit of the insurers the MGA represents and the public. It backs the MGA’s faithful performance and proper handling of premiums and funds. The bond runs concurrently with the current license period and any renewals, and may be cancelled only on 30 days’ written notice to the principal and the Superintendent of Insurance.
It is a three-party guarantee, not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. MGA registrations renew on a set schedule (renewals are due June 1), and the bond must stay active the whole time — we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn’t have one. We issue on the Bureau of Insurance MGA bond form.
