New Hampshire licenses employee leasing companies (PEOs) through the Department of Labor under RSA 277-B:6. A company that can't show $100,000 in working capital can post a $100,000 surety bond instead. Ours is $3,000 flat — 3% of the bond — with one soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your PEO license is waiting on this financial assurance. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Company details, the commercial questions, and an effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your employee leasing company application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
$100,000 bond × 3% = $3,000, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
New Hampshire licenses employee leasing companies (PEOs) through the Department of Labor under RSA 277-B. A licensee must demonstrate financial responsibility — and RSA 277-B:6 lets a company that can't show $100,000 of audited working capital instead post a $100,000 surety bond (or letter of credit or securities) as approved by the commissioner.
The bond guarantees payment of employee wages and benefits if the leasing company fails in that responsibility. It protects the leased workers and the state, standing behind the payroll and benefit obligations the PEO takes on for its client companies.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. For a company whose financials don't show positive working capital, RSA 277-B:6 raises the amount to $100,000 plus the working-capital deficit; confirm your exact figure with the Department of Labor and we'll match it.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including the commercial questions and a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
