Opening an Anytime Fitness location in Mississippi means filing a $25,000 surety bond before you sell a single membership — the state's health spa law conditions registration on it, and your franchise agreement requires the same figure. Ours is $250 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft pull only — nothing that touches your score.
















The Mississippi health club bond is about the simplest filing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, your franchise contract date, and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no lengthy underwriting file.
This bond is among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file alongside your health spa registration statement. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Mississippi's health spa law conditions the right to sell health club or health spa memberships on filing a registration statement with the Attorney General's Division of Consumer Protection and posting a $25,000 surety bond with the Office of the State Treasurer — or an equivalent cash deposit — in favor of the State of Mississippi. Anytime Fitness's own franchise agreement asks its Mississippi locations for the same $25,000 figure, so a franchisee satisfies both requirements with a single filing.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Mississippi (the obligee), with your members as the protected parties. If your club takes prepaid dues and then closes early, or otherwise fails to deliver on a membership contract through fraud, dishonesty, or nonperformance, a damaged member can bring a claim against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. If ownership of the bonded club changes hands, the statute requires the new owner to notify the Office of the State Treasurer of the change as a condition of continuing to do business.
These are the actual issuing fields — a short business form plus a soft-pull credit consent, nothing more.
