The City of Belton, Missouri requires a small loan or money lending company to post a $1,000 surety bond with the city as part of its business licensing. Ours is $100 flat, the price you see is the checkout price, and the bond issues the moment you pay. Any credit screen is a soft pull only — it never affects your score.
















Municipal license bonds are among the simplest filings in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, an effective date, and a term. That is the entire application — any credit screen is a soft pull that never shows as a hard inquiry.
This bond is checkout-priced at $100 flat, so it issues the moment you pay — your executed bond and power of attorney generate on the spot.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to submit with your City of Belton business license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Belton — the Cass County city on the south side of the Kansas City metro — licenses small loan and money lending companies through its city licensing process, and requires a $1,000 surety bond as part of that license. The bond runs to the City of Belton as obligee.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the city (the obligee). The bond stands behind your compliance with the city’s licensing requirements for lending businesses — if the city sustains a covered loss from a violation, it can claim against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay on file while your city license is active; we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual issuing fields — business details, an effective date, and a term. That is the entire application.
