About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Maryland is one of the states that requires registration of a franchise offering before it can be sold in-state, under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law and its implementing regulations at COMAR 02.02.08, administered by the Office of the Attorney General's Division of Securities. Where a franchisor's financial statements don't support the Commissioner's escrow condition, COMAR 02.02.08.08(F) lets the franchisor post a surety bond instead, sized to the initial franchise fees the franchisor expects to collect in the state.

It's a three-party arrangement: the franchisor (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Maryland acting through the Securities Division (the obligee), with Maryland franchisees as the protected interest. The bond is conditioned on the franchisor completing its obligations under the franchise agreement — providing the real estate, improvements, equipment, inventory, or training the agreement promises.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. This bond was filed for the Blo Blow Dry Bar franchise registration specifically; the required amount is set by the Commissioner for each registrant and franchisor, so confirm your own required amount and named obligee with the Securities Division before you apply.

COMAR 02.02.08.08(F)Code of Maryland Regulations 02.02.08.08(F), under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law, lets a franchisor post a surety bond instead of an escrow condition — in an amount the Commissioner sets, issued by a corporate surety authorized to transact business in Maryland, and conditioned on the franchisor completing its obligations under the franchise agreement. This bond was filed at $25,000 for the Blo Blow Dry Bar franchise registration; confirm your own required amount with the Attorney General's Division of Securities.
