MN career school solicitor bonds.
Corporation. Flat 3%.
Before a corporation can solicit students to enroll in a Minnesota private career school, each solicitor needs a permit from the Office of Higher Education — and that permit requires a $2,000 surety bond under Minn. Stat. 136A.825. We write it at a flat 3% with no credit check. At the statutory $2,000, the premium lands at our $275 minimum.

What it is and who needs it.
What the solicitor bond actually guarantees
Minnesota requires anyone who solicits students to enroll in a registered private career school to first obtain a solicitor's permit from the Office of Higher Education. Under Minn. Stat. 136A.825, no permit issues unless the solicitor files a continuous corporate surety bond of $2,000.
The bond is conditioned on the faithful performance of all contracts and agreements with students the solicitor makes. If a student is harmed by a breach of one of those agreements, they have a cause of action against the bond — the surety's aggregate liability is capped at the $2,000 penal sum.
When the principal is a corporation, the bond is written in the corporation's name. The statute also lets an applicant deposit $2,000 with the commissioner of management and budget instead of a bond, but a surety bond costs you only the premium rather than tying up the full amount in cash.
